Thanks to today's Herald for reprinting a piece from The Independent, introducing me to a their online website I otherwise haven't been to. I also didn't know the Herald people edit other people's piece (presumably to fit the layout) too.
I love the commercialisation of Christmas. For any non-religious person like myself (although having spend 10 years of my schooling in two Catholic schools, some of the teachings and values must have, by osmosis, absorbed into my mind), it's the time of the year to have a break, have sometime with families and friends, and an excuse to shop around.
I probably wouldn't go as far as to take an atheist's viewpoint however. For any practising physician knows there remains far too many unanswerable questions - "why now?". Of course, one should strives for evidence, for scientific reasoning, for facts.
Of many things science fails to explain, is one's taste, love, and affection.
