Check under everything. It always ends up where you least expect it.

3113 wrote this a year ago in a "what is the Christmas spirit" thread Abs started and I thought it was so wonderful I saved it and even cleaned it up a bit (R to PG rating):

The Christmas Spirit is a need to fight back. The days are very short, the nights long. Christmas comes out of a European tradition, which means the world is frozen and barren. It looks dead. (I rather suspect we wouldn't have Christmas at this time of year if we'd come out of an Australian tradition.)

Anyway, at this point the world is bleak. It's going on three months since our harvest festival, and the food that's been sustaining us is repetitive and bland-- people are stuck inside and getting cabin fever, they're arguing, they're afraid, they're depressed. And, like Tiny Tim in A Christmas Carol, there's a very scary chance that they might not make it. Until we got better with the medicines, the winter was the most likely time that people would get sick and die. Food might run out, we might starve.

We need something to look forward to, to live for and get excited about. Because if we don't, all we have to look forward to is three more months of all this, including the fear, depression, etc.

So, what is the Christmas Spirit? The Christmas Spirit says, "Fie on all that! I'm fighting back! Look! Fire to get through the longest night! HAH! Look, a goose and dried fruit and spices to actually enjoy! HAH! Look, I've found evergreens, color! HAH! Look, music, dancing, games! HAH!" And gift giving. Family members make secret presents for each other ... everyone waits for that day when they'll get and give those secret presents. What excitment in all this dreariness. What an event! And you get something new! If you were stuck for weeks on end in a little house with your family, and you very rarely got something new and special, this would be a most marvelous treat.

In the end, the Christmas Spirit is about lifting everyone's spirit. About, well, having a party and celebrating that you're alive at a time when the rest of the world is dead. It's infusing flavor into a world of bland food, color into a world of white and brown and gray, fun into a world of dreary survivalism and camaraderie into a world of depression, fears and quarrels.
 
To the previous post I will emphasize this historical note that 3113 alluded to: Our ancestors were indeed fighting back against darkness itself, literally. The days in Northern Europe are very short, and imagine what that was like before electric lights, flashlights, before candles even: All you had for 18-20 hours a day was the dull orange glimmer of a smouldering fire in smoky hut. Darkness was a profound enemy and terror. "Things that went bump in the night" were everything and everywhere, and there was no relief.

It's a very gloomy day outside here but all the lights are on in my house and I've have colorful christmas lights strung around the living room since the week after Halloween. I'm fighting back!
 
*hugs* to all who need and want them.




I need to get that two-inch ice crust off my car.

Anyone got a sledgehammer? :cool:

People have a certain responsibility towards threads they start. Even if they start them at 3:34 am, so they can't just abandon them and go sleep. :p
