« Tenderness is the art of personifying, of sharing feelings, and thus endlessly discovering similarities. Creating stories means constantly bringing things to life, giving an existence to all the tiny pieces of the world that are represented by human experiences […]. Tenderness personalizes everything to which it relates, making it possible to give it a voice, to give it the space and the time to come into existence, and to be expressed. It is thanks to tenderness that the teapot starts to talk.

Tenderness is the most modest form of love. […] It appears wherever we take a close and careful look at another being, at something that is not our “self”. Tenderness is spontaneous and disinterested; it goes far beyond empathetic fellow feeling. Instead it is the conscious, though perhaps slightly melancholy, common sharing of fate. Tenderness is deep emotional concern about another being, its fragility, its unique nature, and its lack of immunity to suffering and the effects of time. Tenderness perceives the bonds that connect us, the similarities and sameness between us. It is a way of looking that shows the world as being alive, living, interconnected, cooperating with, and codependent on itself.

Literature is built on tenderness […]. »

« The first extant documentary mention of a celebration of Jesus’ birth […] appears in the Chronograph of 354. Thus, by 354, […] Christians in Rome were celebrating Jesus’ Nativity on December 25. In choosing the date of December 25 to celebrate the birth of Jesus, Christians placed this annual observance right in the middle of three wildly popular preexisting Roman winter festivals.

 Perhaps they wanted to co-opt the popularity of the existing winter parties in order to promote the acceptance of Christianity among more people. Perhaps they disapproved of how wild the parties were and hoped that adding a Christian celebration would tame them. […] Whatever the motivations, Christians gave an overlay of Christian meaning to some preexisting winter festivities. An important implication of this narrative is that when Christians finally initiated an annual celebration of the birth of Jesus, it was from the very beginning a combination of a winter cultural party and a Christian observance. The historian Stephen Nissenbaum offers a very articulate summary of the complicated repercussions:

“The decision was part of what amounted to a compromise, and a compromise for which the Church paid a high price… . In return for ensuring massive observance of the anniversary of the Savior’s birth by assigning it to this resonant date, the Church for its part tacitly agreed to allow the holiday to be celebrated more or less the way it had always been. From the beginning, the Church’s hold over Christmas was (and remains still) rather tenuous. There were always people for whom Christmas was a time of pious devotion rather than carnival, but such people were always in the minority. It may not be going too far to say that Christmas has always been an extremely difficult holiday to Christianize.” »
