No one but another will ever understand the agony I've gone through every December in the years since I let my Mormon Church affiliation lapse and decided there was probably a lot more to the experience closel-seniimeniali- st existence of the universe and development of mankind than Adam and Eve and sev en days of n eat ion. Not that I've ever been sorry looking at life from an ciitirelv new perspective has Urn fascinating. 1 he trouble stems Iroin the tact lhat. though I have nothing (XTsonal against him. I found I had to lei Jesus go with the rest of the religious package I was dumping. Eleven months out of the year I don't miss him much. But. come December, with its carols and trimmed trees and its nativity scenes. I get foolishly sentimental about the baby Jesus and the Virgin Mary. I long to participate in the Christmas traditions I became so attached to in my childhood. It's actually even worse than lhat. During November, while outwardly conforming lo l he accepted rules of St roogish behavior and expressing disgust that local businesses have. yet again, commercialized and therefore destroyed Christmas by putting up their holiday decorations before Thanksgiving. I'm secretly wishing that they'd put them up and lhat they'll forget to around take them down before Valentine's Day. Asa matter of fad. I like Christmas so much that I mid-Augu- st even like its commercialism. (With so few bona fide Christians around, after all. who is going 10 make sure Christmas survives if corporate America doesn't?) But. I'm tired of going underground every December. I'm tired of having to sing Christmas carols to myself to my own to accompaniment; I'm tired of having foi Christmas about shopping complain those "obligatory" family gifts and then wrapping them in solitude so no one will know how much fun I'm having; and I'm tired of having to sneak into the Temple grounds incognito at midnight in order to gaze in rapture at the nativ ity stene. So this year I'm coming out of the closet. I'm going to try and convince my friends (some of them fellow lapsed Mormons; many of them fellow heretics of less dubious backgrounds) that, in the coming Enlightenment, Christian lore and Christian traditions will be looked upon and studied as mythology embodying much of the history of the development of Western thought and ethics. When this is so. celebrating the birth of Jesus will no more compromise one's character, beliefs or political affiliation than sending out valentines or carving Therefore, by selling aside their religious prejudices now and celebrating Christmas as a pagan holiday representing the spirit of giving and reminding us that, although very little xace reigns in very few platrs on this globe, peace on earth is the highest ideal toward which man can strive; they needn't feel thai they are selling out but. rather, are moving into the forefront of modern thought and helping to usher in the new Age of Enlightenment.
