Holidays

[Natasha]

In the light of the current holiday happenings, I was introspecting and integrating, and while choosing to not actively participate (decorating, shopping, gatherings, etc), still found the cheer and community buzz somewhat endearing. Someone would say it's love, and yes Love is what is, holidays or not holidays, it's just what is. The collective ego-mind hive comes especially alive in such times of the year. The reason for the season is not really as important as the attempt to maintain and strengthen the collective illusion. Even thinking and writing about it is contributing. Not saying any of this is right or wrong, just making an observation. An infinite possibility at play, like everything else in reality created.

Cheers guys!

The reason for the season

To me, the season is itself the reason. 

It's dark so we have lights. 

It's midwinter (can't grow any food), so we feast.

We bring evergreen nature into the house to celebrate the survival of the green through the winter. Pine trees, holly, ivy etc. 

Weather is bad so we hunker down in the family nest, a symbolic hibernation until the dying sun is reborn, a few days after the solstice we can notice the rebirth of the sun (ok son of God if you're Christian) as days start to lengthen. 

Stonehenge was celebrating midwinter at least as much as midsummer, there's archaeology to support it. 

In summary, we (in the temperate zones) always wanted a good festival to cheer us up at this time of year. Merry Yuletide everyone!

So true! There's some sort of festive ambience and a sense of some elevated mood all around! Holidays are such a vibe, everyone's a little chill for a bit

Personally, things have taken the other direction to the point that i no longer feel obligated to see the holidays as more special than any other days.

Do you celebrate birthdays?
