Merry Christmas everyone!
Edited to add:
When I was 15, a good friend of mine had two parents who were divorced and he never went to church in his life or was a "Christian" for that matter. Yet, on Christmas Eve that year, he extolled to me the "Christmas Spirit", which took me aback. I'll never forget that. Said statement had nothing to do with "Christmas shopping".
And I always wish my Jewish friends "Happy Hanukkah" who celebrate same. And I also wish my Sikh friends "Happy Diwali" during their festive season and also enjoy their festivities.
When I first saw the renowned movie "It's a Wonderful Life", a few years later, I finally got "IT" - the "Christmas Spirit".
