How very curious. I used to look forward to Christmas when I was a kid. When I had just lost my faith, Christmas time used to fill me with annoyance. This time however I'm pretty indifferent towards Christmas. I hardly noticed Christmas at all, in spite of the fact that I had to quickly buy presents, come down to my hometown for gathering with relatives (and sing carols with them to boot) and my friends are even having a Christmas gathering after Xmas. But I hardly realize it's Christmas. That's very unusual for me, considering its such an important occasion for everyone around me and considering my upbringing.
I guess as life moves on and responsibilities start to pile up, things like religious holidays and family gatherings tend to be far from the mind. I guess the break-up had something to do with it too. I'm just going to lump it together with everything else that's 'part of growing up'.
...I wonder how all my friends at the church long ago are celebrating their Christmas.

Happy Winterfest!
...WINTERFEST? Good grief, just say Christmas like everyone else!
Christmas is just a public holiday now. We watched Australia. Story kinda sucked, but looooove Nicole Kidman (and the ever hunky Mr. Jackman).
You've got one answer. :)
(I just reread my comment... when did I turn so indifferent? I sounded a little bitter there. Well, whatever.)
Fiiiiine, public holiday it is!
...heh, so that's how my ex-church members are taking Christmas now. Lol!
Don't think it's bitter, btw.
Happy new year 2009. Abt Xmas n the feeling, i think it doesnt have much to do with faith or no faith. Perhaps it is a matter of growing up and changing values and perceptions?
