Going home for the holidays, going to church, and visiting my friends' families are not options for me. My family of origin is very unhealthy. While I am on a spiritual path, I no longer believe in organized religion or the institutional church.
Yet, I do still love Christmas. It is a truly holy day, a spiritual day, for me--honoring the birth of Jesus (Y'shua) the Christ. Yeah, yeah, I know that Dec. 25 is prob. not the day He was actually born. Nevertheless this is the day most of us celebrate His holy birth, and the birth of all he represents: love, light, peace, liberation, goodwill toward all human kind.
I perform the next day, so I will be with friends then. What can I do on Christmas Day--to honor the day and to keep the holiday blues at bay?
For ex., for Thanksgiving I am going to Ithaca, NY (very cool) for a much needed mini-vacation in beautiful upstate NY with a friend fr. India who is also on his own for the holidays.
