Christmas Eve Day

It is supposed to be the season that many are all giddy about the season.  For the most part I am more like a great many of my friends. Not that many of us are Baa Humbug, but more often than not we are tired of the commercialization of the season or have a different perspective than we are expected to have! Many of things remembered such as cards are out of style or simply not done any longer! Our friends are a much more diverse lot than they once were too! Ethnic and Religious boundaries have become much more blurred too. The same could be said for traditions too. For many of us the old traditions are no longer practical! We are much more mobile than than we once were due to many reasons! We are now scattered all across the country and even the world! Our connections are no longer limited to in person or paper means! We can now visit through digital means at will, via many different modes! We can communicate daily with our "family of choice" which may or may not include blood relatives! Regardless of anything though, be it cultural, ethnic, religious, distance, or anything else, we all need to put away our petty differences and see each other as simply fellow human beings and celebrate each other! This is my daily wish.
