Nothing to do with religion as far as I&#8217;m concerned because wasn&#8217;t\u00a0Jesus born in June according to the planets and stars? I think if you check into it it was done by the powers that be to offset some sort of pagan celebration. Oh well whatever it is it is and I guess any day that brings family together is a good thing and any day to celebrate Jesus and goodness\u00a0is also good. I guess practicing what he taught is even better.<\/p>\n<p>I know people born later in May don&#8217;t really get Christmas as they are usually in a Saturn time which is a bit depressing anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Sure I had the tree (pink) \u00a0and everything when the kids were small and loved Christmas morning for them but after they are older it&#8217;s really just a gift exchange.<\/p>\n<p>I love when people are into it and they decorate everything and get excited. How spirited they are and I do adore that. Passion in any form is tops in my book.<\/p>\n<p>So I guess I&#8217;m just a Scrooge is what this blog is saying. Sorry!
