Christmas Eve Day

The tree is lit, my daughter plays with the puppy, cookies everywhere. This jolly Buddha is feeling alot like Santa. Like the fat old jolly chinese buddha with a sack on his shoulder, sanse the white beard.

So many times this year I was asked "Do budhdists celebrate anything this time of year?" Several answers came up over the week:

1. Any time of love and joy is a time for buddhists to celebrate
2. Peace and compassion
3. Giving and Generosity
4. Santa
5. Ho Ho Ho
