Thread Name: BS: Decorating for Yuletide?
Subject: RE: BS: Decorating for Yuletide?
The thing about this time of year is that it seems that so many people have some sort of celebration going on in their lives. I think it brings people together which is one of the reasons I love the Christmas Season. I put it that was because Christmas happens to be the holiday I celebrate. Not everybody does and I can appreciate that. But I think that we should all celebrate in whatever way we seem fit and that would include a big lit cross, or a star of David, or whatever symbolizes to you what the holiday season means to you. It's our traditions and history that make up who and what we are and I think we should all show our colors!! Hang a flag, a light, a mistletoe, whatever! Maybe even do nothing if this is not the time for you to celebrate. I personally love bumping into someone who is celebrating something different than me. It usually starts up a lenghty conversation about holidays, traditions, etc. I think we all get too caught up in worrying about what someone will think if we use this decoration or that decoration. I say do it, and then take the time to know your neighbors and find out why they chose to do the things they did!! This probably didn't help Kat's question at all but if I had to make a suggestion, I would say, if it looks good, hang it up!
