I never knew that of Christmas. It's certainly interesting.

Do you have a link-back button somewhere around here?

You're right. Christmas has lost its meaning as have other holidays. But there's only so much we can do to try and restore its true meaning, to the true celebration. Most people (children included) don't care and just want presents.

What do you mean by "find the light"? After God knows how many years of looking for this "light", one would think that you should have found it by now. Just a suggestion - perhaps you should OPEN your eyes and you will "find" this "light". LOL! By the way, thanks for "enlightening" me on the different Christmas Day celebration dates.

Hmm. I thought your mom was actually a... figure as part of the scene / decoration. Heh.

Hehe. I found out about the celebrating Christmas on January instead of December, awhile ago. It's quite interesting!

Very interesting blog.

I never heard before of people celebrating Christmas other than on Dec 25th.

First off, I didn't notice before, but the arm waving anime girls are hilarious. :-D That aside, I completely didn't know anything about Serbian or Orthodox Christmas, so this was like a mini culture lesson for me. Hooray, I feel like a dimwit considering modern culture again! And I agree: Christians need to put the "Christ" back into Christmas. Ask any six-year old who they think of when you say "Christmas" and they'll say "Santa Claus", not Jesus.

First of all, I HEART your layout. :-)

And yes, I did know some people celebrate Christmas Day on January 6th. Over here in Dominican Republic, it is a Dominican custom for kids to actually receive their gifts on the 6th, because instead of "Santa" giving them their presents, they celebrate it as if their presents come from the Magic Kings (those that bring the gifts to baby Jesus *your picture above*).

I particularly receive on both dates because my mom likes to follow Dominican culture and I like Santa, LOL. XD

XOXO,
Sarah
P.S. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

My family is not religious at all, so we usually celebrate our Christmas on December 24th. The holiday really doesn't have any type of religious background for us... it never has.

But still, it's interesting to see how and when other people spend their holidays.

Hmm, why do I have a sneaking suspicion that you're going to stretch the New Year's resolutions into several posts? (One in here - spirituality.) Like your 4-part ornaments entries?

Here we go again with the camera lament! :-D Just buy a new one already or put up a PayPal donation button on your blog.
