Merry Christmas, everyone! And if like me you're not a Christian, well, have a happy day anyway, because there is no sense in having a shit day, right?
For me, Christmas is not a religious holiday. I see Christmas much the same way I see Thanksgiving. It is a time to remember lost friends and to be grateful for them and the influences they have on my life. It is a time to remember family and, good or bad, be grateful for how they made me who I am. It is a time to remember those friends, current and former, who made my life better over the years.
