Christmas rocks because once a year (that’s about all we can afford) people throw caution to the winds and generously gift others; and however large, gifts are only a token of our appreciation and a dash of our love. In this sense, Christmas is the most symbolic season of the year. We revel in bestowing symbols of affection on others. Because of this active symbol creation, we enjoy a deeply human endeavor. It is great fun and makes all masters of symbolism. Christmas is driven by an unrivaled confluence of emotional, intellectual, and spiritual rewards. It is a high that comes with a price tag—but most feel is well worth it.
