So…. Xmas happened.
Christmas eve was spent in a panic wrapping the distasteful commercialist side of the holiday, reminding me of how much I had spent, but when finaly finished at 23:48pm I was able to relax and welcome in Christmas day itself. Rock on Santa!
The day itself was a tad stressful with two visiting, heinously flatulent, French Bulldogs and a cat with Dementia. Adds a whole new angle to the family strains of Christmas. Love them all to bits of course though. We forgive our Furrbabies anything, except for excessive flatulance. After a while I had to exit the room and breath! 😉
That aside, Christmas has been quite lovely. I like the quiet cosy christmas’es. The ones with christmas Yankee Candles lit, mug of Hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows in hand, suggled up in a cosy blankets watching delightfully sugar laden and utterly cheesy Christmas films! Ahhhhhh….. bliss.
I love remembering and honouring Krampus, The Holly King, the Ice Queen, the Two Crones, Slepineir, St.Nicholas etc etc…
I may be a shamanic, crystal using, tarot reading pagan but Christmas/Yuletide/Saturnalia/Solstice time has been mixed into a wonderfull, hormogenous blob of a celebration that lasts several weeks and is absoloute Heaven for me.
Yes, I celebrate the lot but there is no shame in it. I do so through sheer joyfull abandon of the holiday season! For me its celebrating life and loved ones from my Heart centre. I celebrate from a place of love not commercialism, consumerism or any other ism. Its about celebrating our darkest coldest days with light, love and warmth in my heart! And more importantly to share that with one and all.
Merry Christmas/Yuleide/Solstice… Everyone.
