Christmas means different things to different people. I
think the overarching meaning is to try to have an open and loving heart,
displayed with acts of kindness to those you know, don’t know well, or don’t
know at all even if only this one time of year. This spirit transcends
religions and beliefs, and is definitely contagious.
Who really knows which origin story is accurate? Did it all
start with St Nicholas? Or the Coca-Cola ads from like a 100 years ago?
Frankly, who really cares. It’s here now and has to be contended with each
year.
For many, it is such a desirable time of year that they try
to extend the life of the season; I know people who will put up their trees the
day after Halloween. Yes, you read that right. Sadly, I knew somebody who was
very ill and knew she was not going to make it to her next Christmas so she
chose to celebrate Christmas in July. It was that important to her.
For me, Christmas is spending time with loved ones, reaching
out to those I don’t connect with often, reliving fun family traditions,
re-energizing with a break in the grind, and those special little surprises
that I didn’t expect.
Ok, so you thought this was going to be a run-of-the-mill
essay about the holiday. Nope. For those of you who have read this far, prepare
to be rewarded. I asked the Chatbot that has been in the news to write an essay
answering the same question. The Chatbot is supposed to be able to do my work
for me. You can see my answer above; you can see three versions of its answer
below. In this case, I think I as a human writer did a better job. Nonetheless,
the bot wasn’t horrible. Crazy times we live in! (For those who want to play,
