It’s all over! The festive season, that is. It just happened that our big family party this year fell on the Winter Solstice (21st) which seemed to give the event more relevance, I thought. For an evangelical atheist, like me, Christmas is just a bundle of various historic traditions (many originally stemming from the solstice, I suppose) and commercialism. But mostly commercialism.
