As a child of divorce, I had two of every holiday: two birthdays, two Thanksgivings, two Christmases… That’s sort of what being a current Pagan, benevolent ex-Christian is like. I’ll happily sing the Jesus songs and make a joyful noise about it, but I’ve also got my eyes peeled for nature spirits darting in and out of the branches of the Christmas tree—dryads playing chase-me!, chase-me! amidst the heraldic angels and holy dove ornaments.
Merry Christmas to my Christian and Pagan friends and family both. If you enjoy this day half as much as your god or gods enjoy you, you’re doing damn good.
