As a die-hard atheist, I only enjoy Christmas as a seasonal festival and a tradition ingrained in European culture. That said, it is a rich one. Whoever you are, wherever you are, I hope you had a very merry Christmas, and hope you bring some of that festive cheer through the New Year, and on into the next. Once you strip away all the food, take away the wrapping paper and shrewd Christmas marketing ploys, you're left with something really special. I just think it's a shame that you only see that kind of warmth at Christmas.
So from my favourite carol, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen:
All you within this place,
Now with true love and brotherhood
Each other now embrace
Merry Christmas from Beijing.
