As I have noted in previous posts, my personal approach to life is to maximize my pleasure (enjoyment) while not impinging on the enjoyment or pleasure of others.

Short cold days

If you live in the nortern hemisphere this time of years the daylight hours are shorter and the average tempuratures colder. A great setting for celebration and though different cultures and religions have different approaches on ways to celebrate this time of year, generally,  celebrations occur.  Not surprisingly,  celebrations occur in the southern hemisperes this time of year as well, but the underlying drivers are not cold dark  days but just the opposite (warm long days).

And for me that is good, and I really enjoy the opportunity to make the most of the seasonal practices designed to bring pleasure.

 Christmas Day

For christians a key celebration at this time of year is Christmas day.  It only occurs once a year and is strongly promoted from early childhood as a day of gift giving, entertaining and just good times all around.

This fits perfectly with my own personal values and not surprisingl,  with the majority of humans.

So I will end this short holiday post with the classic greeting for this time of year,  that resonates most for me, and will never get old   “”good will and peace to all and to all a good night”.
