LET US TAKE BACK THE SEASON OF FESTIVITY!!
I had more trouble with Christmas before I cut TV-time to a minimum.
Now I can define what the Festive Season is - for me.
I have taken Christmas back!

In the Northern Hemisphere it is a festive holiday of lights in the darkness of midwinter. The celebration of Winter Solistice predates Christianity by thousands of years. Instead of Santa Claus we had little gnomes, vards, fairies. We celebrated with beings unseen that are still part of the teeming life of this planet.
We can let the season uplift and fill us with gratitude. It is a chance for sharing with near ones, it is an inner state of mind.
The Nativity, so childishly drummed into us, has a higher perspective:
The Trinity of the One Infinite Creator, - a Masculine, a Feminine and an Offspring aspect.
The issuing of the stuff of illusion was not accidental, but deliberate, meant for us to experience, to express our individuality in, to savour, - but not to get bogged down in.
So cheers: - To Laughter, Love, Light, Music, Dance, Meditation.
A Celebration of Life - in a Chain of Upliftment - around the world.
It will get better as we tear down the tyranny, yes, - but no need to let our tyrants win the day by derailing us in our genuine expression of Joy and Gratitude.
From a Christmas Carol, not originally in English:
Never ceases the tuning fork from Heaven
in the Happy Pilgrimage of the Soul
