Everyone I know gets busy with their families and closer friends. I try to stay busy finishing some projects for a yearly inventory, and not feel too lonely. I swap two or three cards, and put some exterior house lighting on a timer. I'm most excited by the days beginning to lengthen again.

I haven't bothered with Christmas or New Year's in over 30 years. I also don't bother with birthdays or Easter. I understand the importance other people place on them but they just have no meaning to me.

What really floats my boat is temperatures over 35C on a quiet stretch of river with no people around, a few quiet beers, a good book, and an occasional swim as I watch the world pass me by.

I spend Christmas and NYE with family. I'm really lucky to live close to a lot of them again, and for some strange reason I'm really excited about it this year.

The only one I celebrate is not this time of year, anyway and that is, the memorial of Jesus Christ.

I used to celebrate most festivals, but when I found out the back history of them, I am glad to not celebrate now.

Oh poor Streetwise. Hugs. Keep the faith. I really like you, and you were a bright star in my sky when I was very sick, encouraging me in my own faith. Remember that God loves you. Across an ocean and a continent away, I'm thinking of you, and I hope you have the happiest of holidays.

I celebrate New Year's Eve and my birthday! xmas is okay, but not a big deal to me personally. Usually I just drink and get sad on the 24th and 25th lol Hopefully next year I won't be alone for the holidays, but I can handle it.

There have been years when I've been completely alone for every single holiday. It sucks, but it happens. It helps me appreciate the times when I do have friends or family around me.

Holiday. I'm a Pastafarian.

A bit of Christmas, out of nostalgia, a bit of Yule for the fun of it, but mainly I celebrate the sun.
It's winter solstice! Isn't that the basic idea behind all of those festivals of light?
Finally, the light is going to come back. I hate the cold, I love hot weather, winter is the worst time of the year and the solstice is the time of hope when the light will start coming back.

So, yeah, I mostly celebrate Ra, the sun god, and his daughter, the lioness, and also the god of air and wisdom who persuades her each year to return from the south.
