Maybe I am Uncool Too

Serge has a great thought (entitled “I Love Christmas. How Uncool”) about Christmas (recognizing, as we do here, that we are not even yet in Advent as far as the Church Year goes):

Now that Holiday (remotely related to and roughly contiguous with Advent) is upon us I’ll be looking for a Hallmark TV special, ‘The Armadillo That Saved Festivus’. No, seriously, I love Christmas including in its current form. (But I know that this, right now, isn’t Christmas.) So to those who grandstand about commercialism, neener. It’s when mainstream society forgets its anti-Catholicism for a while; even hard-shell Protestants put up statues of Jesus and Mary. The Incarnation wins out. God became man (actually at the Annunciation but anyway… we need a winter festival to cheer up), life’s long celebration’s here and you and I are in the way of eternal life. Deo gratias.
