It's a day to share your home, your sentiments, spread joy & cheer to the best of your abilities. A day of reminiscing, and hopefully re-experiencing joy in memories of Christmas' past... A day of finding pleasure in the wide eyed wonder of small children, and of connecting with those whom you've been too busy to connect with, & a day of faith & hope that in your final hour~ you will find comfort in knowing that you will be greeted & welcomed "home".
I occasionally have days like that throughout the year, and I appreciate & take great pleasure in them.
Without Christmas, there won't be a crucifixion. More importantly, there won't be a resurrection.
The Bible says that if Jesus did not rise from the dead, Christians are of all men the most miserable. As for me, living a meaningful Christian life on a daily basis can be realized if we understand that Christmas is completed by the images of the babe in the manger, the Savior on the cross, and the empty tomb.
As an atheist, Christmas has no religious significance to me. But I still love the holiday for all the Christian values it conveys as it pertains to my relationship with my extended family. It's a great time to reunite with distant relatives and renew the bonds that make us a family.
