This is not only customary (certainly pagan in origin) but it is very human nature and desire to acknowledge the Self Existence. Even if one doesn't wish to celebrate his own birthday, somebody else will! How can the dead celebrate his birthday? As in all celebrations, indulgence is inevitable - gorging, gifting, singing, dancing, merry-making, and wasting. And to ameliorate these indulgences, slogans, jingles, carols like 'joyous giving', 'goodwill', 'peace', 'happiness' are splattered all over the place.aah-haahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17018252160335014110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1012277645322483593.post-56584580290260558422009-12-25T16:15:36.770-08:002009-12-25T16:15:36.770-08:00Thankyou Bhante, and a Merry Santa Claus Roast Tur...Thankyou Bhante, and a Merry Santa Claus Roast Turkey Wrapped-Gifts day to you!Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17542652960543931248noreply@blogger.com
