The Holiday That My Family and I Celebrate

Merry Christmas
http://blog.treefeathers.com/....
It has been a quiet few days here at Codified: The Life and Thought of Matthew Morse.  Although I feel very strongly about carrying holiday sentiments with us throughout the year, it is in deference to the Spirit of Christmas that I have withheld some of my thoughts about events that have taken place over the course of the past few days.

Today is Monday, December 24, 2012.  For some people, that might mean that it is Monday, and nothing more.  Others may look to this day as part of the renewal that came with last Friday's Yule and solstice celebrations.  For me, it is Christmas Eve.  That means faith, family, friends, and food - not necessarily in that order.

I found translations for the the expression "Merry Christmas" at http://www.babelmaster.de/.... and found some corresponding images on a Google Image search.  For fun, I also added some images from some of my various interests - burlesque, Doctor Who, mermaids, and Star Trek.  With the exception of the last photo, all of them are secular in nature.
