Is this Christmas, then more? I’m never sure. I know that traditionally be released until January 6, but pays only the opinions of more. Anyone who has trees, then it is just probably a little lazy. It is a strange time of year. I kind of fun. Or I take advantage of dark days and cold, and the chance to sit by the fireside. I can do without too leniently than it makes me feel grotty and my inability to drink means that I’m not really much of a Boozer. I very rarely feel happy alcohol fashion these days. It seems to me to go straight to a little sobriety drowsiness. Which is a bit pants but it means that I drink less. Which in the long term, is probably a good thing. We can not be said for one of my neighbors, however. I saw him stagger home on Christmas Eve 9ish in its work clothes. He had a good start being drunk, weaving all over the road, fall, saying random stuff, waving his finger, changing direction and then to remember what it was supposed to do. It was quite funny. Brought back some painful memories of similar experiences that I never want to repeat. I made sure he can find his key and get in before I left him. He did, after a bit of struggle and panic.
This is one of those strange laws of nature that whatever shitfaced you’re still at home, in your bed and not lose your key. I have no recollection of how I have done many times, but somehow you wake up in the right place. Or you wake up in another location with little idea of how (or why).
My favorites are those where Christmasses I have the chance to just spend time with my other half, without too many complications. We had a brilliant walk through York on Christmas Day. This is probably the only day of the year when almost everything is closed and the place is very quiet. It seemed like a completely different city. There was a real freedom to be able to explore only familiar places with hardly anyone around. The same can not be said in my Christmas morning run when I could not move for research sullen families, children on the new bikes and skateboards, and loads of other runners. Like me, they were probably semi-offensive fear food and I wanted to put some points in the ability of the bank before it all began.
In general, we do a lot of reading as the TV is bad. I can watch something interesting on Christmas Day on the veracity or otherwise of the story of the Nativity, we are accustomed. It is of course largely myth and metaphor, created to meet certain criteria prophesised for all those who wanted to argue was the Messiah of the Jews. She was covered with pieces of fleeting chance to meet the particular political and religious needs at different times, it became something until infants cutely reproduce every year. At the end of a two-hour slot of the whole basis of the story was deemed insufficient. But as the kind of manifesto. It is surely a matter of faith for believers. As one of the Catholic Bishops interviewed said, it’s not something you intended to probe or question. You are supposed to accept as true classical or conventional or false, but in other areas of the faith that can not be quantified. This is history, tradition. It is a kind of magic and we should look at the life and teachings of the man concerned, rather than the mysteries of his birth.
I am not totally opposed to this idea. Love is something that falls into the same category. If we look too much to bring us back to the biological development and the imperative of survival mechanisms of the group, but what we experience is even more meaningful. The quest for lasting love and genuine partnership is something that dominates most peoples lives. We built a set of social model, produced art and culture to explore. Our ignore something so instinctive and primary based on sentiments of its ups and downs.
It is therefore an argument of our own culture overlaid on top of that behavior stems from biological evolution neccessities that the Church is increasingly using the Nativity and other miracles of biblical history. The continuation of Christianity does require both a virgin birth and bodily resurrection true. If you reduce Jesus to be a "great master," then consider what he taught you find that it is not really remarkable. The ancient Greek and Roman philosophers have given to our culture more than the teachings of Jesus, most of the ideas that existed before him anyway. His death and ressurrection are not particularly exceptional fitting perfectly into a number of old religions. The Christian faith boils down to whether you can swallow the myths, to suspend your critical enough, or you perceive the trade-off big enough to do so. I know I can not and that years of non-belief is the story becomes more bizarre and out of my daily experience, something the Scandinavian myths or ancient Egypt. Go to a church service now seems like a betrayal of my intelligence and I think I’ve come to believe that many more that I have no desire to believe in something beyond. "
Thus, the story of the Nativity is a ragbag of things. It is the color and that is enough, but it does not matter. Christmas is not really a Christian holiday for most, if it ever really was. So if you believe or not, is whether or not you’re willing to suspend the reason to go into something, to choose the Christian products off the shelf and see if it matches. In a relativistic world it is a choice among others. I think morally and intellectually and humanism is much more to offer than the strange world of the Bible.
We spent the day after Christmas with my brother and his family. It really was a beautiful day and it is times like that I am grateful for. I think even if we do not have any link with a Christian festival we still need more time than expected this year. Families can be problematic things I think. The propaganda has much to answer. I am grateful for my own will. We are collectively a good group of people. I enjoy their company.
We foolishly ventured into town today. It was hellish. The people go crazy on sales. We have obtained more quickly and can then just chilled and ignored the world. Apart from a great pass in the Holy Land, which has all of the Christmas story in our minds. It was pretty frickin ugly is not it? Maybe the murderer, vengeful, tribal world of old and new testament is not really foreign after all? The main Palestinian protests over the indiscriminate Israeli bombing that took place were centered around Bethlehem, of all places. Hundreds of angry collected. The mayor has turned off the lights of Christmas. What is dead today to add to the growing humanitarian crisis that the Israeli blockade deprives people of many desperate neccessities the basis of life, there is probably not many people to celebrate.
It is old myths that you see. This is one reason for everything. Promised land and selected. Innocent people who die in the name of the old stories.
