I’ve been around the Christian celebration of Christmas, and all the ornamentation of this holiday, since birth. I’ve heard all the ranting about how it’s actually some pagan holiday that has nothing to do with Jesus, and that the Christmas tree and ornaments and lights and gift giving and receiving all have some evil inception and have nothing whatsoever to do with the Baby in the manger.
Each year, dates roll around that are significant for some reason. And if I forget one – like my anniversary – it becomes even more significant.
