Other than that, enjoy this article on, "The True Meaning of Christmas"!:
The true meaning of Christmas could be never captured in just one moment of typing, but tonight as I worked on someone's car happily, when I was moments earlier asleep - I think I felt the feeling of what is based on one of the true meanings of Christmas: service.
You see. . . just as we crossed over midnight a woman pulled over on the side of road just outside of my apartment and offered help. Her help wasn't required, but it made for a good feeling that someone cared close to midnight on Christmas Eve. Then, we looked at the time and it was Christmas! Later, right as the car started the first snow of white Christmas restarted. It was magic. This was all brought to us by service - a core principle in the true meaning of Christmas. That service principle is a principle I believe in that connects to every religion I've ever seen, but I especially learned about it as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Ladder Day Saints. You probably have seen my church's commercials. "Family. Isn't it about time?"
You see, the true meaning of Christmas to me has always included family and when I went to write this article I started creating memories by chatting with my brother in GMail. I've never done that before and it is much better than hotmail's version of chat. Well, since I've written most of this article while chatting with my brother, I hope you don't mind a few more comments about my life as I type - I usually don't do this in articles, even if it is brought to you by blog spot, which is meant for blogging! My 1 1/2 hour conversation with my brother teaches me that I'm right about the true meaning of Christmas being inseparably connected with family time this holiday, because I could spend my graveyard time up in so many ways when I'm off tonight. I had many plans including re-working the grounding wires on my own car, since I've done a dozen other people's cars and that taught me more that I should apply to my own, which is what I originally attended to write on today! I must say that talking to my brother trumps car work and writing this article right now. I don't always feel that way, so I guess what I just learned from all that chat is that family means even more during the holidays.
When I first thought of writing this article for VirileAuto, I was thinking about the upgrades I did on my brother's car 2 days ago and how those grounding wires made that car a lot more powerful and a lot faster - a Christmas gift - but I'm now leaning towards telling my audience to read up on that on my other website, take a break from cars, and just think on this for a minute. What is the true meaning of Christmas to you? Leave your comments. Tell me about your feelings and together we'll do better than we can alone to improve the human condition.
I want to write a full article on the True Meaning of Christmas, but since it is Christmas, I might just do a little more living and get back to you on how I've learned more on this concept today.

As I review the past, I haven't always applied the true meaning of Christmas through the holiday season, but I seem to find my way to that meaning the closer I get to that special day that we appreciate Christ.
Since I started that yearly a True Meaning of Christmas blog, it's had more and more effect on me outside the holiday season. Haven't we all wished that the feelings of the hoilday could be around the year? Well, here it is March 23rd, and I've sought for the ability to write my feelings on this subject since February!
