Even though Christmas may have "begun" as a celebration of Jesus' birthday, the "real" meaning of Christmas is to spread Jesus' message that "love" is the answer to everything.

　 　 Both Jesus and Buddha were highly evolved beings trying to teach us that by "loving ourselves" we will bring about a more loving and peaceful world. Through fun, laughter and having loving thoughts we are spreading the real message of Jesus. Isn't that what happened at the Christmas Parade?

　 　 Congratulations to the organisers for the demonstrating that "love" doesn't care what religion we practice just so long as we "love" and have fun.
