So what’s this?

I already operate or am associated with dozens of Christmas websites. Why then do I need another?

Well, it’s simple: I still have lots to say about it.

I got into the Christmas website business years ago with the founding of My Merry Christmas. It was an accidental pursuit and it has been a joy. But that website, and the others associated with it, are for the masses. This one is just for me.

Here I can pontificate, observe, opine — whatever you want to call it — and not worry about the masses.

I know what I write here may not be of much interest to many.

I don’t care about that.

I know that what I share here may sometimes not be popular.

I don’t care about that either.

I know that what is said here could be potentially offensive to some.

To that, I say “so what?”. This is the Internet. There are plenty of sites out there that cover Christmas from just about any angle. I know, because I run a lot of them. This one is mine.

You’re welcome here, of course. But what you’re going to get here is Christmas as I see it, Christmas as it was, as it is and as it should be — all according to me.

What makes me a Christmas authority? Nothing, really. Yeah, I’ve been a presence of Christmas online and offline for more than 15 years now. Yes, I’ve researched it at length and written about it extensively. Yes, I practice the observance of Christmas year round. But when all is said and done, I’m no different a fan of Christmas than anyone else.

But there is one small area where I think I differ from the world at large as it relates to Christmas: I believe that Christmas is central to our very existence. I have talked about this before. I will talk about it more here. You may or may not see it that way.

I don’t care.

That’s what Christmas is to me — the real Christmas.
