Many Christmases, I don't feel like I really celebrated Christmas enough. I know that Christmas is really about Jesus' birthday, but I am envious of other ppl who are out of their minds happy celebrating.

There is one Christmas Carol that has always baffled me. Have you ever wondered about "THE TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS"?

What in the world do leaping lords, French hens, swimming swans, and especially the partridge who won't come out of the pear tree have to do with Christmas? Today, I found out. From 1558 until 1829, Roman Catholics in England were not permitted to practice their faith openly. Someone during that era wrote this carol as a catechism song for young Catholics. It has two levels of meaning: the surface meaning plus a hidden meaning known only to members of their church.

Each element in the carol has a code word for a religious reality, which the children could remember:


The "Partridge in a Pear Tree" was Jesus Christ.
The "Two Turtledoves" were the Old and New Testaments.
The "Three French Hens" stood for Faith, Hope and Love.
The "Four Calling Birds" were the four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
The "Five Golden Rings" recalled the Torah or Law, the first five books of the Old Testament.
The "Six Geese a-laying" stood for the six days of creation.
The "Seven Swans a-swimming" represented the sevenfold gifts of the Holy Spirit: Prophesy, Serving, Teaching, Exhortation, Contribution, Leadership, and Mercy.
The "Eight Maids a-milking" were the eight Beatitudes.
The "Nine Ladies Dancing" were the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self Control.
The "Ten Lords a-leaping" were the Ten Commandments.
The "Eleven Pipers Piping" stood for the eleven faithful Disciples.
The "Twelve Drummers Drumming" symbolized the twelve points of belief in The Apostles' Creed. So there is your history for today. This knowledge was shared with me and I found it interesting and enlightening and now I know how that strange song became a Christmas Carol... so pass it on if you wish.

There is an abundance of Jewish symbols around the airports , but I dont see any christians one, except the christmas trees and they are not symbolic of christians. I dont understand the fuss over the nativity scene or crosses , ehen menorahs are displayed at views! In justice if religion is to be represented then all branches of religion must be represented. The symbols of kwanssa , crhistian, Jewish, Muslim, and even the chinese Buddah, or none at all. In fairnes I dont think it can be done, there fore religious symbols dont belong in public places. Amen. What says you?

It's January 1st 2007 and I have been struggling with a lackluster feeling all day. I talked to my wife about it and we were trying to figure out what it could be.

Then when I flicked on our Christmas lights it hit me: I'm depressed because Christmas is over. The songs, the shopping, the family and friends coming over etc have all come to a grinding halt and come next week I return to the hum-drum of work after three weeks of blissful vacation.

Christmas is my favorite time of year since I was a kid but somehow I've enjoyed this one more than any other in a long time. I've been driving around blasting yuletide music on my car stereo, singing to the top of my lungs and people giving me strange looks.
But for right now I feel very sad that Christmas has come to an end. We talk about the 12 days of Christmas ending on the 6th of January (which is traditionally when we throw out the tree) but it's 2nd of January Christmas is over for me and I feel sad. Anyone else feel my pain?

I mean, can an agnostic celebrate on christmas day, give gifts and such, without really celebrating "christmas" as it was intended. Is this amoral?
