But the true spirit of Christmas remains. Modern homes cannot tolerate trees with lit candles, strings of wild berries, nuts and other natural decorations. Trees combust, candles cause fires . . . Two good reasons artificial decorations were created. I remember walking the woods with my aunts through seasons and making mental maps of where mistletoe grew so that we could return and harvest enough for Christmas. It was the same with our tree. <br /><br />My grandmother's home smelled of the outdoors once the fresh fir was set up and decorated with berries and popcorn, candy canes and paper snowflakes. People brought homemade fruit cakes, simple gifts wrapped with string, and there was always good cheer. I can still smell the cold air that sneaked inside folds of our visitors' clothing! These days we gift too much that's factory made, does not last long, and isn't truly appreciated or wanted. Greeting cards have replaced actual visits. Homemade food gifts aren't always safe because of salmonella and his kin. People tend to give more because they can afford more. Simple and less is still best. <br /><br />In our family we give one gift that's especially needed or wanted, and we get to have creative fun with stocking stuffers. We are a family of three though. America is a relatively young country with few traditions that weren't brought here with immigrants, but we do our best. And not all Americans are covered with the broad brush you try to smear us with. ". . . the old pagan gods have been sanitised into the sickly-sweet American Santa Claus." Americans did not worship pagan gods, so . . . And unless you "know" us, instead of just having heard things about us, you are making gross assumptions. We might not live in a truck but some of us live true to nature and some of us drive electric cars instead of ones fueled by fossil fuel; some of us still travel the OLD way--by horse and buggy, and actually live the old way. The Amish do it rather well. America is as diverse as ever when it comes to lifestyles.<br /><br />If the pagan gods were so great . . . I prefer a single god. But thanks for reminding me why.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-55494095372623936382016-09-07T20:29:43.250+01:002016-09-07T20:29:43.250+01:00looking forward to reading the booklooking forward to reading the bookSaskiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10974723368542754165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-29502341263386241782016-04-24T18:08:21.186+01:002016-04-24T18:08:21.186+01:00Your work is indeed a gateway to the otherworld.
