DAY 6 - Think of Christmas as a religious holiday or as a "celebration" commercial?
difficult issues I have to say ... well, as you might have guessed from some of my speech I almost consider myself an atheist. I grew up well, with a family that I was never "imposed" religion, but I very well could if I wanted to follow (they are baptized, confirmed and everything else). Once the Christmas Mass was obligatory, not because we went all the family, but it felt like a right thing to do, something I was involved, if not pre belief, at least out of respect. I love and respect the cultures, all of them. I love the differences and I love seeing how each celebrate their anniversaries in such different ways. In addition, the choir sang Christmas songs and see all those people gathered under the lights made me happy (totally illogical sentence syntax). made me feel good. But the truth is that not all is well, and while we coddle (what anyway enough due) with panettone and nougat, there are people who do not even have water to drink. for this my classic Christmas gift is a donation to UNICEF or another nonprofit organization, accompanied by a chocolate (which is never stodgy ^^)!! I believe that in good times to think it is fair to others. that Christmas is no doubt you are selling, but this has already started from the 50's, when the Coca Cola Santa Claus has taken and decided it had to be dressed in red for better advertise the drink (nb Santa Claus was generally represented in green dress !)! But a pochinoino of consumerism, a pochinoino of defects are anche bene nella vita...lo si fa solo in questo periodo dell'anno dopo tutto! ^^
