There are a few nut-jobs on both sides of the "war on Christmas", but the truth is there isn't a war. I'm not Christian but I enjoy the whole thing. The older I get the more I enjoy it because I know where the pitfalls are now. I don't spend too much, or eat too much. I have the memories of those that are no longer here, I enjoy those who still are, and my special joy is the new arrivals. It's a good time of year.
The Christian myth has one very strong message. We were all created in the image of God it says. America carries the same message. All men are created equal. While Buddhism doesn't follow the concept of a creation, the Buddha said the same thing as well. We all have Buddha nature. For me, that is the message of Christmas.
