because I still do believe in the value of the basic Christian teachings.
Me too Naomi, but I've found the basic Buddhist teachings to be even more enlightening. It's been many years since I attached any religion to Christmas, but it's also been many years since I was a practicing Christian. This celebration is older than Christ, older than Buddha, almost as old as man himself. The ancient Germanic Pagans called it Yuletide, the Druids: Alban Arthan, the Kurds: Şeva Zistanê. Old Man Winter became Kris Kringle became Saint Nicholas, together we celebrate the Rebirth of the Sun!

Good coffee, good weed, and time on my hands...
