How should this Taoish Taoist celebrate what has really become a secular holiday focused more on consumerism? Another Taoist might think I should not celebrate it at all. That would be their choice.
I will celebrate Christmas with my family, the same way that most middle-class American families will. The same way we've celebrated it since I was a little boy.
We will gather in the living room around our artificial tree decorated with a hodgepodge of ornaments that we have collected over the last 35+ years. There will be grand-kids and too many presents and lots of picture-taking. Later there will be a spiral cut ham and wine and laughter, lots of laughter.
But probably no mention of Christ because none of us have gone to church in a long time. And we really don't miss it.
Happy Holidays!
