Merry Christmas

Dear Internet,

Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!

Now, I'm a big Jew, but I should tell you a bit about Christmas. Today is (not really) the day when God decided to get himself borned. A Word made Flesh, is He. Yay God.

Christmas is a day to celebrate our incarnation. Our Being Made Flesh. It's special stuff.

It's a day to consider, would I choose this life, with all its suffering, because I've given something to the world in my being? Am I glad that God woke up one morning (and many others thereafter) and decided to dress up as Me?

And we can say Thank You, God, for giving us all these joyous moments. And we keep unwrapping new ones every night for eight days, and twelve days, and 365 1/4 days, and we spin around the sun in a wild giant circle, and we wonder if the world means anything anymore.
