I’m not ready for a little Christmas
Little Thanksgiving was strange but doable. Little Christmas is going to be rough. I’ve adopted the 100% secular American Christmas and so much has to do with family and friends. Scaling that all the way down to the four people in our nuclear family bubble is going to suck. I understand the need for little Christmas, but I’m not emotionally ready for it.
This is going to be interesting. I’m a devout Atheist, Christmas died here when my wife developed Dementia, but I’ve started going to the big church behind my land. They know I’m not a believer, that and they all seem to know me which I find a tad bit weird. But they are a welcoming bunch and not judgemental, if they have anything for Christmas I’ll go. I was raised in the protestant church and feel at home there.
Mainstream protestant churches have plenty of non-believers (they’ll admit as much in private moments) who are there for the community, not the theology.
Listen, pal, Frank Sinatra wanted you to have yourself a merry LITTLE Christmas, so get with the program.
Don’t make me sing , because I will! Starved for singing as I’m a vocalist…. But there is a limit.
