Christmas has always been joyful, until it go politicized in the United States, and killjoys started saying that creches and Christmas trees could not be in public place. I say let them stay but let's have some winter solstice "pagan" displays, lets have Hannukah festivities, Buddhist, Jain, Muslim. Everybody needs a good celebration at the Solstice, when it appears the Sun will never come back and the nights will continue to get longer and longer.<BR/>So I am all for the caganet and wish I was in Barcelona to see the creches.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18437602662584739899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9157734420350337154.post-18576448901016005212008-12-13T21:56:00.000-08:002008-12-13T21:56:00.000-08:00very interesting, Michael.
