Merry Christmas to All !

This is not about doctrine, dogma... theism, deism...atheism, agnosticism...Hallmark, commercialism...Catholicism, Protestantism, Orthodoxy...history, mythology...tradition, collective consciousness...Jesus of Nazareth, Jesus of Bethlehem, Jesus the Son of God, Jesus the Son of Man [well, it actually is about Him, but...]......it's about Peace on Earth, Good Will Towards [Wo]Men.
May all of you in cyberland who visit this site, who like my posts or dislike my posts...who argue with me or agree with me or simply ignore me, all have a Very Merry Christmas, no matter what you presently believe.
Last night, I visted with Neopagans, and one very angry Satanist (in a wheelchair) and his sad wife. They wished me a Happy Yule. I wished them a Merry Christmas too, around a fire, surrounded by a magic circle. I thought I was going to a house warming party - Oh well.
I stuffed a turkey with chestnut dressing -my late Mom's recipe. I'm waiting for my Lady's Mum to show up with Jamaican peas and rice and Sorrel. We're not exchanging gifts, although I hear I'm getting some box/open-end wrenches from her Mum 'cause I help her fix things. We all know it's not OUR birthday being celebrated. Rose (m'Lady) did give me a silver bracelet with Dorjes and gold-embossed 'Great Mantra of Vajrayana' that I frequently post on, in Sanskrit, and I'm finally gonna have my Grandmother's/Mom's diamond re-set in a ring for Rose. CHRISTMAS IS ABOUT THE WELLING UP OF LOVE IN ONE'S HEART, my friends. It is not mere emotion, it is pure Will - the Will for Goodness, Peace, Fearlessness. It is Ecstatic, it is worth living and dying for, it is pure Freedom - it is Christ!
BE OF GOOD CHEER ONE AND ALL !

Merry Christmas Markos.
Adeste, fideles, laeti triumphantes; Venite, venite in Bethlehem. Natum videte Regem angelorum.
Venite adoremus, Venite adoremus, Venite adoremus, Dominum.
Deum de Deo, lumen de lumine, Parturit virgo mater, Deum verum, genitum, non factum.
Venite adoremus, Venite adoremus, Venite adoremus, Dominum.
Cantet nunc hymnos chorus angelorum, Cantet nunc aula caelestium: Gloria, gloria in excelsis Deo;
Venite adoremus, Venite adoremus, Venite adoremus, Dominum.
Ergo qui natus die hodierna, Iesu, tibi sit gloria: Patris aeterni verbum caro factum:
Venite adoremus, Venite adoremus, Venite adoremus, Dominum.

O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant, Come ye, O come ye, to Bethlehem. Come and behold Him, born the King of angels;
O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.
True God of true God, Light from Light Eternal, Lo, he shuns not the Virgin's womb; Son of the Father, begotten, not created;
O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.
Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation; Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above! Glory to God, all glory in the highest;
O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.
Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning; Jesus, to Thee be glory given; Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing.
O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.

Merry Xmas Marko's, When I saw this thread title I had a vision of you floating in your pool in a Santa hat with a big cigar and a drink, your lady in a skimpy elf outfit dancing around the pool and throwing cookies to you.
And that my friend is what Xmas is really all about. (in my head at least)

So we'll dig up an old one, eh? Well Happy Festivus to all of the wonderful people who come here; gather around the pole.
A festivus for the rest of us! Get drunk and have fun.
