Christmas is a difficult holiday for me in several ways. The rational part of my adult brain says there is no way we should be celebrating the birth of an out of wedlock child as the incarnation of god on earth. The elementary school part of the same brain finds this an irresistible story which I desperately want to be true. So, I sing the carols and participate in the hoopla surrounding Christmas, but always with the caveat that the holiday we "christians" celebrate originates as the joyful welcome of the lengthening of days in the northern hemisphere. So, let's sing another yuletide carol and bring on the wassail bowl. A Merry Christmas to all!
