I respect your opinion. I look at the Christmas season, with it's commercialization and secularization, and also at the gathering of family and the focus on a 2000 year old miracle. I look at the winter season and the hidden meanings of hearth fires and the snow that covers the naked earth. I take in the Christmas carols updated to rock and roll what I see is a gestalt. Something more than the sum of it's parts. A seasonal miracle all it's own filled with good cheer and spirit that has me singing Christmas carols all the way in to July. I accept the bad with the good because without bad how would you identify good? They are all part of the mix, the formula as it were. Ahhhh but now I wax poetic.......

because without bad how would you identify good?

Or as succinctly stated by Goethe in Faust:

Freud muss Leid und Leid muss Freude haben."
