Merry Christmas and the deeper meaning of the holiday
The piece argues that merry once meant pleasant not boisterous and that Christmas is more than mirth. It cites the Wordsworth rainbow vision and the phrase God rest you merry as reflecting joy bound to spiritual gratitude. It notes Christmas as a festival with religious or pagan overtones and references a Russian Christmas greeting.
