So far my habit of recording my mp3 player’s so-named “blog” has reached its one-year anniversary. The “blog” contains what my mp3 player has inside before I go to sleep. I dutifully recorded everything, painstakingly that is. Ye~
Now it’s the third straight year I didn’t have *or attended* any formal *or informal* Christmas parties at university.
It’s probably the missing factor of my Christmas these past years. Of course, I enjoyed my highschool friends-only party with my highschool chumps, the annual family “Noche Buena”, and the UST Paskuhan, but something of a party with classmates – well, that’s what I really mean.
I know that some peeps at the class had these ideas, organizing parties, but I think there’s this sort of wall. One party involved liquor, which probably will be amusing *to watch how my friends reveal their darkest secrets while imbibed with wine* but my parents would go ballistic. One involved a so-called “nerd party” where the guests play DotA all night, which would be paradise for geeks and nerds, but sadly I’m not THAT much of a nerd. Another involved a regular party, but I noticed that it’s an exclusive house overnight party, which could trigger weird mind pulse signals from my mom and pops. Da~me…
I still miss my innocent *probably I’ll rescind that later* high school days. Chaotic and placid at times, but still, the atmosphere in that one is what I wanted.
Speaking of my pops, he’s kinda 1.5 inches to the left of disapproving Christmas. Or, in other words, he’s having some misgivings on Christmas *but not to the point of totally banning it to himself*, which he nonchalantly rattled one day while I was enjoying a noontime TV gameshow.
I know, he has some points on it. One, the Dec.25 date, which is scornfully rejected by neo-Christian groups like INC, Adventists, and the like, is fit in with some purported pagan celebration dates. Which is true, I don’t deny that. There’s no mention in the Bible that Jesus was born in December, or much less on a specific date. Second, he argued about what are the points of Christian celebrations. Which, here, I will beg to differ.
I shot back. I said to him to look at the Bible to see if there’s a specific phrase or verse that does not tolerate merry festivities. Probably he will see hints of regulations, like less imbibement of wines, but if he would insist on his moroseness, I suggest he have LASIK surgery right now.
First, if he want literal battles *like using bibles*, don’t fight against certain human natural traits such as “joy”, “sadness”, “respect”, or even “grief”. I think my dad would lose with his pants down.
Joy covers celebrations. There’s no point in celebrations if there’s no joy.
Second, the date December 25 is only a symbolic date, which is different from a “declared official date”. Vatican does not say that December 25 IS the date that Jesus was born. I don’t see the logic why my Dad would fuss over this small a fact. And, I do not want to complicate something so trivial as to the “exactness” of this date. Probably yeah, it was fit in with the pagan dates. But why would we be affected with these pagans? Let them eat horse cake. As Jesus once said, “Let what is due to Caesar be Caesar’s, and what is due to God be God’s.” Let the pagan dates be theirs, and the Christian dates be ours. End of point one.
I don’t feel any particular inhibition against celebrating on Dec. 25. It was ingrained into our culture since the Spaniards came to our country. And here comes the war; Progressive groups want to be morose. The majority of Christians and Catholics rejoice and celebrate. OK, so we respect your difference in religion and beliefs; we don’t want to disturb your repose, as long as you let us be merry and happy. And what do these miserable people do? They distribute more pamphlets during December that contains some information that would probably discourage ants from eating their carcasses.
These groups want us to be morose and placid like them; they see wrong by seeing us commemorate and celebrate the birth of Christ. If that is so, I think these progressive Christian groups should forget birthday parties or corporate parties or church foundings or marital anniversaries or enjoying a simple momentous event in their life. I consider commemorating Christ’s birth as an important event in my life as a Christian, and that, is my point two.
So far my JAVA Lab right now is taking some time, so probably I’ll go Ciao for now. See ya.
