What would you give me if you could?
Yeah, I know you want it. Give your best Festivus greeting here:

And heh to the Christian comments - I am sort of Christian (more like spiritual with Christian leanings), but the intolerant fundies were partially responsible for almost killing my faith. (See userpic.)
I personally think Jesus was about love. And I have no problem with people who also think He was a Deity. I do, however, have a problem with people who think everyone should believe. That's all. :)
I didn't realize how many holidays there were in December! I knew there were a few, but wow.
Being a brilliant Christian American, I didn't even realize it was a separate day.

I'm Christian, but I have to admit that the majority of my 'Christmas' traditions are cultural rather than religious. I'm doing my damndest to teach the girls about the true meaning, celebrating the birth of Jesus and spreading love in the world...but more attention (so far) is paid to Santa and presents. :(

I don't have a problem with most people. A lot of folks have one with me. You should see how pissed the 'mainstream' Christians get when they learn that yes I do consider myself Christian, but I don't believe Jesus is God. Shoo-ey! Talk about hellfire and brimstone! Then when they learn I don't believe in that...It's a hoot.

Heh heh. I'm only slightly ashamed to admit it: totally Googled.
Rohatsu is something that i try to personally observe each year.
Now, when it comes to Santa...i love the 'little kid magic' and mythology. It's like fairy tales to me, and it's the spirit and the wonder behind it that i adore and try to instill. If only i could bottle the stuff!
Most of our Christmas celebration is cultural, but I do my best to keep the spiritual aspect of it intact.
and we celebrate New Years' very much like Omisoka. Had i seen it on the list, i would have marked it! Sorry!
I'm sorry! I don't even know what that is. Or thelemic. *blush*
We generally lean towards buddhist philosophy, though my husband is also heavily influenced by thelemic thought. In general, both of our families are catholic though mine certainly isn't practicing...and my brother-in-law is Muslim, so we are all pretty open to different aspects of how to celebrate the holidays. In general, it's more about family and friends and love and so forth than anything of an 'organized religion' process.
I think that's the general energy of it these days. Mostly.

I have some looking up to do.

I love Santa, too! How can you not? :)
And my family is completely non-religious, so we just celebrate the secular aspects of the season - family, presents, food and togetherness. I believe grace at Christmas dinner last year was "Dig in!".
sooo much awesome. can I be Phedre?
and how do you pronounce everything?
As for pronouncing everything...french. I couldn't even begin to do it. I'm a southern belle. I heard someone say "Phedre no' Delaunay de Montreve" the proper way once, and I had no clue what the hell she said. LOL
lol
Actually, I'm glad you clarified that. I never really got into the Festivus spirit. I just see it around all the time this time of year, and I try to cater to the masses as best I can.
I'll try to remember to send you the file later.
It is pure awesome.
We usually open all our presents from each other on xmas eve, and then get the rest when we go to the fams later.
I'd love to hear Christmas on Acid. Weren't you also going to send me a Netscape or Firefox file or something? :P
