About Christmas

About Christmas I just posted this on someone else's blog, in reply to a post that he made, and a comment that someone else left as well. It's how it is for me: ""How does one explain that nobody visits? Why would one put up decorations? How does one explain that one just became too old and isolated to be of any real value in one's family anymore?? More than that. How does one explain the sour taste of memories of this one, that one and the other all dying just before Christmas? and how Christmas can never be the same again, as it was all about those loved ones being in one's life? It takes a strong person to just accept that it is over, and Christmas is a time when it's really clever to just take a day off and if one has someone to share it with, great, and if not, that's fine too. At least there is no pretence, no arguing, no negativity. It's just all peaceful, and if one wants, one can play music, or watch a movie, whatever, and I did watch "Life of Brian" recently, lots of laughs there."" I did miss a bit. How do you, the happy person, explain to someone who lost everything on Christmas Morning when a cyclone hit, that Christmas is a good time??? Yes, they have had lots of time to get over it, only those memories will never be gone for them. While you and others can be happy, there are those in this world who will never find joy in Christmas, for this reason, for that reason, for perhaps a totally different reason, and it's kind if the rest of us can respect that. Perhaps the fact is that, for us older people, yes, it's our job to make the younger ones find value in Christmas in some way, and maybe some of the older ones have done that too successfully, finding that and juveniles demand this, that and the other at Christmas, which would tell us that yes, maybe we have overdone the "pleasing of the younger ones". I do think that yes, it is my job to make Christmas pleasant for very young , as their wide eyed innocence is worth maintaining. In doing so, as a non religious person, I can no longer support teaching them religious stories. What I can support is the sometimes forgotten human values of caring, consideration and respect. I can encourage people to realise that Christmas was never about money, no matter what their faith or non faith. For me, Christmas was always about looking after those who need emotional nourishment. Yes, that is the best way of explaining it. On this, you may quote me anywhere. |

Tell me more about these Christmas parties! I have been to one in my life, from my work a few years back now, and that was pretty much a fizzer, as it was really all about the office staff getting as drunk as possible (and a few were also stoned at the same time) in as short a time as possible. As I was a mere driver, my license depended on me being sober, so like the other drivers, I had a feed and it was pretty much over, while watching the office staff get merrier. As the only female, I also had to be very careful, to not stick around too long, to protect myself from out of control males, and to not be offended by the jokes that were not just crude. Are other Christmas parties any different?? My precious friend is very likely to say bah humbug at any moment, as he already said it a while back. LOL.

I suppose there is also the theory that it's easier to get a woman to remove her knickers when she is pissed but I never put that theory to the test. In the company I ran for 25 years before I retired, we would have a Xmas dinner to which wives/partners were always invited and taxi's were provided, but always in December. As far as the office goes though, my staff were always welcome for a drink before knocking off on Xmas eve but I cant ever remember any takers, they were all much more keen to go home as soon as possible. And before you ask the question, yes I am a very naughty old knight, but I have principles, very practical principles, and refraining from shagging staff or even the suggestion of it was always one of them. But even that was not without its problems. It seems this policy often gives female staff the wrong impression which in turn seem to increase their temptation to embarrass me with naughty behaviour.

Oh, yes, I can believe that for sure, only I was an owner/driver of a tiny little truck, and did delivery, why I was one female amongst so many men. And as far as the office staff went, only the males stayed for the Christmas party, as the females were married to members of management (a family business).

I like that definition, Brijit. I've heard so many, but that ranks up at the top! Si Vis Pacem Para Bellum Audentes Fortuna Iuvat Politicians. Lampposts. Assembly Required.
