Hello...Token Buddhist here.... !
Wot wiv Paganism rightly claiming the origins of Yuletide and its timing as their own, Christians insisting on hyjascking the symbols as depictions of Eternal Life, the 'Evergreen, Love and Grace of God and other faiths riding piggy-back and joining in with their own slant on things - It will come, mark my words! - I just keep my head down, wish everyone well, and have two of everything, if it's free.....!
Buddhists - having no God, and having different opinions to those of Pagans, tend to adopt what we euphemistically call "The Middle Way". Whilst we have no inherent Religious reason to celebrate anything, we wholeheartedly rejoice in the happiness and gladness of others, and see no hypocrisy in wishing anyone, from any calling, faith or denomination, the most wonderful christmas they could wish for.
Here's to Good Health, Happiness and Serenity to you all. And may the best of this year, be the worst of the next....
Pass the sherry....
