Yes, of course it is emamum, however, it is also about bringing joy and pleasure to this celebration, and we all do it in the best way we can. Even if you do not go to church at Christmas, still brings happiness to people, no matter what. The fact that you are buying presents for your children signifies the fact that you yourself, are being hypocritical, and is more than celebrating Jesus's birth; but you are able to afford this pleasure and bring an exciting time to them.
I am, myself, a confirmed atheist, as are both my children and grandaughter, but we still jump on the bandwagon of Christmas because it is a happy time and just love the magic of the fairy lights, presents, extra kisses, yes, even the work's does where we all get a little too drunk. What the 'hell' (don't believe in that either
) It's fun time.
Hey !! As I submit this post, the Rotary Club's sleigh has just been down my avenue .. have contributed, and know it will be well-used for people that are less fortunate than myself.
