The point or purpose of xmas is to get kids to behave, hoping they will be rewarded.

We celebrate the fact that in the northern hemisphere, the shortest days are passed, and we can start to look for spring. That's the origin of it, anything else is smoke and mirrors.

Personally. I like to bring some real live evergreens into the house for decoration, greet friends, take a walk in the country and have a Scotch, (normally beer drinker).

Bah humbug!

There are two holidays I adore, Halloween and Christmas. Why? I think it’s the decorating. I’ll be alone this year, but I’m still decorating. I enjoy the tree and the lights. I love the lights. It’s not about the presents as it is about the congregating. This year will be much different with COVID.
