Today I have just seen the first Christmas puddings of 2015. And Christmas cakes. And mince pies. At least there was no Halloween stuff, but perhaps that was just an oversight. Bah, humbug!

Re: Here we go again
Ugh. Here too. Lebkuchen (gingerbread), marzipan, Stollen, and Christmas chocolates are everywhere. It's barely October! I remember when no one sold Christmas-related items before Advent. I miss those days. -
Re: Here we go again
I can't avoid it. At work, we start shipping out Christmas related stuff by the end of June.Comment

Re: Here we go again
Ugh....that means the anti-holiday people will be starting up soon. Last year I had to leave a facebook group I really liked because of that "It's Merry Christmas, not Happy Holidays" stuff. There are so many holidays at that time of year, I don't understand how people don't know that.sigpic

Re: Here we go again
Christmas a: few months planning and fuss for a few days' consumerist/Christian holiday. Or what have you.
I don't quite understand the Christmas fever. But I don't care anymore. Hating Christmas fuss just makes it worse... (especially: "how could anyone hate christmas yadayada...")baah.Comment

This is pretty much my thought process anymore, too.Christmas a: few months planning and fuss for a few days' consumerist/Christian holiday. Or what have you.

Re: Here we go again
I have not celebrated Christmas for a very long time. I do celebrate the Yule and we exchange gifts. Those gifts are hand made by the giver and they are wonderful in their value and persona. The gifts are made as though they were made for the person crafting them. They are placed in a brown paper bag with a number written on the bag. Cards are placed in a small cauldron and chosen in ritual space. After the ritual is over we take our gifts inside and open them after the bread and wine is served. It is amazing how the gift seems to always go to the person it best fits, almost as though the gods and goddesses have a hand in it.
In Arratu our personal talents are called Me (pronounced may) and it is said that your Me are the gifts that deity provides you at your birth. We use these gifts to make the lives around us healthier and happier.The Dragon sees infinity and those it touches are forced to feel the reality of it.

Re: Here we go again
I like Christmas, by whatever name you wanna call it - family, friends, food & booze. Yay!Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

Re: Here we go again
Although I hate how early the winter holiday season ends up creeping into stores these days, I do love December and the whole actual lead-up to it. Christmas/Yule/Whatever you celebrate doesn't have to be a consumer nightmare. It can be a wonderful season full of friends, family, warm drinks, and delicious food. My favourites are going to the good Christmas markets to drink Gluhwein and eat tasty treats like roasted chestnuts and having lots of dinners with friends and family.Comment
