Guest Speaker this week at WonderCafe is Graeme Burk - a writer and a communications coordinator for a non-profit agency that works with at-risk youth in downtown Toronto. He says that even though he is a practicing Christian...
..."I also love the secular holiday that has sprung up around it..."
..."I love the kitsch and the commercialism and the lights and Santa Claus and the singing..."
..."Christmas is a season where we put a giant amnesty on being sentimental..."
..."the best thing about the holiday season is that it's okay to like schmaltzy, sentimental and pretty things for their own sake. It's like taking a vacation from good taste and good sense..."
You can read his whole article and even post your own sentimental thoughts at WonderCafe.ca
