I remember when one of fellow community members on Dooce asked a question: “Do you celebrate Christmas even you are not a Christian?”
I believe that Christians all over the world have been ceberating Christmas but where I come from, celebrating Christmas is all about being together with my (our) loved ones, whether you are a Christian or not. Although there are some people who are actually going to church on Christmas Eve, even when they normally aren’t. Well, as long as I don’t have to come along with them, it’s fine by me. Besides, wherever you celebrate it, the point remains the same: being together.
Being together is fun and cozy. Telling each other what’s going on in our lives. Sharing dreams, plans, and New Year’s resolutions. Giving and receiving presents (I really do love this part 
). Playing some fun and silly games. Watching some “feel good” DVD’s and of course, enjoying each other company with lots of food, drinks, snacks and more….
I am not a big eater; in fact, I often lose my appetite during holidays simply because I see too much food everywhere. Even so, I am always in the mood for snacks (and presents). Thanks to those people who have invented Santa.
Since yesterday I have been indulging myself with delicious snacks, especially some home made “kerst”-chocolates, that’re made of sugar, cocoa butter, milk powder, cocoa mass, emulsifier, soya lecithin, brown and white chocolate. My favorite presents are a brand new patterned woollen plaid and a pair of cute woollen shoes. Warmy!
