I love Christmas again
15 years ago
For a long time, I didn't like Christmas. I was sick of the materialistic aspect of it, I'm atheist so I didn't think I could reconcile the holiday with my personal beliefs, and I can't stand a particular member of my family.
But then I started asking my family to donate to charity instead of buying me gifts. And this year I decided to make everyone's gifts instead of shopping for them. I've come to appreciate Christian religion and have realized that I can be atheist and Christian if I want to be (I'm reading Jefferson's version of the New Testament now and doing some research into it). I actually enjoy Christmas music again, after being out of retail for over seven years.
What this is leading up to is that I would like to offer Christmas drawings to anyone who would like them (or belated Chanukah drawings, or solstice drawings, or whatever else). Just let me know. I may not get them done by Christmas, since I still have some presents for my family and friends to work on, but I will do them!
