While not celebrated in the US, I am happy to offer wonderful wishes to those commonwealth countries where it is celebrated in any fashion.
In fact, I think I am going to be better about celebrating in the coming year.
Why not celebrate often?
I don't want to celebrate meaningless things, but rather I want to find special meaning in simple, everyday, ordinary things.
If we can move from wealthier people giving post Christmas gifts to servants and working people to Black Friday like sales -- Why not?
Isn't that keeping with the idea of the rich (corporations) giving leftovers to the poorer parts of society?
Or maybe it's just another humbug thing.
Did you know...
Humbug is a word that identifies a scam or a method of separating people from their money?
Scrooge's "Bah, humbug!" was his way of saying that Christmas -- as it was being celebrated -- was just a way for people to get something (a day off work) from him.
Hmmm...
he wasn't wrong, was he?
No matter.
Find a reason to celebrate today.
And if you can't find a reason to celebrate, maybe you can give someone else a reason to celebrate through an act of kindness.
