Happy Holidays & Merry Christmas from an atheist

Happy Holidays, everyone! When that time of year rolls around that you have to choose your priorities, I realized I was missing a large portion of my life by not posting and taking the time to talk to

I love Christmas and all the Jesus stories and carrols etc. It's kinda what makes Christmas Christmas. I think the fact that the stories are so unbelievable gives me the same joy I appreciate in any fairytale. They are good for our imagination. And Christmas is a great time to be with family.

@finemoves Hadn't thought about it that way, but, yeah, if you relegate the story of Jesus' birth to just another story that goes with Santa and the North Pole...sure, why not?

Family and friends...that's really what most of life is all about anyway, so what better than to set aside a time every year to be nice to each other. :) Have a great new year!

I suffered your absence bravely :). You sound happy and hopeful. Good.

@lilimax555 I'm glad you are still around. :) I'm doing much better recently. Dealing with life and death has been a bit taxing, but my life is starting to come together at least a bit. The job is becoming habit, living situation still needs some furniture to make the small space more usable, and I have yet to find any lady companions...but I'm working on all of those slowly. Ha ha! Have a great new year!

the old Jesus won't let us destroy the planet makes me want to punch someone.

@angrywhenroused Crazy, huh? Like Jesus (if real and actually the son of a god) would want us to just say "fuck it" and destroy everything. Sigh....

My friend, happy new year to you. May you burn Seattle down, in a good way. Great video, and I appreciate what you had to say about your video output having to take a back seat to leading a fuller life. Now, make another video. Immediately.

@skinnyjohnsen I plan on it...mostly through them and thoroughly enjoying the more-relaxed atmosphere that can show up this time of year. Take care and have a great (and safe) new year!

@kirafan68 So very true. Luckily, there are so many memories from so many people, my grandma (and great aunt to a lesser degree) has achieved immortality as we currently know it.

@practicalmagic9 Hello! I'm glad I was able to find the time (make the time, really) to do this video. There has been so much going on that I needed to get some of my thoughts out of my head so I could refill with "fresh tea," so to speak. I wish I could let you know how awesome the Space Needle is on New Years, but I'll be asleep...my work schedule has me working bright and early at 430 in the morning nowadays. :/
