It has only really just occured to me then that today is christmas day, a day which christians the world around celebrate to be the birth of the Lord Jesus, a man who revolutionised the world with a relgion he had no intention of starting. I've never discussed my relgious views on this site and I don't intend to, but I will say that I do not associate with any main stream religion. I am currently sitting here listening to Queen Elizibeth the Second and her annual christmas message. I am not a royalist, but I do respect this aged womans view and power, and her words are respectful and sensible. She talks of peace and people, relgion and war, and seems to me to take an attitude rather much like a concerned parent, much more so than the ruler of a country.
I must say that as I sit here and listen to this wonderful older womans views, she is really wiser than I have been lead to believe. Wow, Go Lizzie.
Anyways, back to the foundations of Christmas... it's a little dissapointing to see that Christmas has degenerated down to it's basest commercial elements, the pursuit and aquisition of presents and money. I would like to think that this all has something to do with making loved ones happy, but more and more, people tell thier relatives what to get them for christmas, to ensure that they get exactly what they wanted... it's just dissapointing... every aspect of my christmas was a surprise... I must admit I am usually not at all impressed with christmas, but I enoyed today (well all but the waking up)... I am kinda busy right now... I'll continue later...
