“More and more people each year are going abroad for Christmas ... Fed up with the fact that commercial Christmas starts in October. Fed up with carols. Dreading the arrival of Christmas cards from people they have forgotten to send a card to. Unable to bear yet another family get-together with Auntie Mary puking up in the corner after sampling too much of the punch. You see in the airports the triumphant glitter in the eyes of people who are leaving it all behind, including the hundredth rerun of Miracle on 34th Street.” PeopleYearsFactsEyeTogetherBehindsToo MuchStreetsBearsMiracleLeavingIncludingForgottenCornersCardsFedsMaryAirportsOctoberArrivalsGlitterGet TogetherTriumphantFed UpCarolsChristmas CardSamplingRerunsAuntieFamily Get Together Author:M.C.

“The heart of Christianity is a myth which is also a fact. The old myth of the Dying God, without ceasing to be myth, comes down from the heaven of legend and imagination to the earth of history. It happens - at a particular date, in a particular place, followed by definable historical consequences. We pass from a Balder or an Osiris, dying nobody knows when or where, to a historical Person crucified (it is all in order) under Pontius Pilate. By becoming fact it does not cease to be myth: that is the miracle.” KnowsHeartPersonsDoeFactsHappensEarthOrderHeavenImaginationChristianityDyingParticularBecomingConsequenceMiracleHistoricalMythCeaseLegendsNobody KnowsOsiris Author:C.

Then why not accept God's miracles?” YearsBelieveDoeTwoFactsUseEarthFallGrowsAcceptingFlowerYears AgoGardenMiraclePlantSeedsPhrasesTwo YearsWhy NotBeansTwo Years AgoRadishes Author:Dorothy Day
