Christmas Eve

Joy    
It's Christmas Eve, the day before the traditional birth date of Jesus of Nazerath. While I am all too aware that His real birth happened around September 8th I am happy to celebrate in keeping with that merge of convenience between the Christian celebrations and those of the pagan saturnalia.

Though I won't be holding any vigils or other significant markings of the moment I do plan to venture out and visit my Mom and putz around the remainder of the day as is my custom since I became this ancient one steeped in perplexed uncertainty.

My faith has taken a trouncing of late and while I decline to give it up there are notions with which I remain uncomfortable. Let us hope that my heart finds resolution in the renewal of the advancing year.
