What is the meaning of Christmas?
Hello my WA Friends
I was a little absent from WA posts during the last few days. I am feeling like already in holiday and allow myself some leisure time.
This time of the year is for getting still and think about ourselves, our lives and our existence in this world. We cannot do that with all the noise around us, so we just need to decide to take a break.
Understanding the Meaning of this period of time
If Christmas means something to you - and also if it doesn't: How is Christmas understood by each individual? You have your own idea about it, and that's ok. Watching the video I post below you will find out that your attitude towards Christmas is shared by many people, by those who are on the same level of personal development as yourself.
And all ideas about Christmas or religion altogether are valid, no right or wrong here. You may remember that your own attitude has changed through the years - and this is normal. Maybe you were a dedicated believer in god and now you believe in science, just as an example.
The evolution of the meaning we give to Christmas
In the Video below you will be guided through the evolution of ideas about the meaning of Christmas which are present in our lives and in our societies. So if you want to dig deeper and understand a little more about the meaning of festivities like Christmas watch

As far as I remember, the Christmas coincides with festivities Sol Invictus, related with Roman empire tradition. Later, when Christianity became popular, they could not root the old festivities out, so they adapted it for Christians by giving it another name. This is not the only example in Christian tradition.
By this I do not mean to belittle the importance of it of course. In fact, not everybody agrees with this story.
