Christmas & Easter are both pagan holidays originating in Rome. "Christians" adopted these, imo to have days set aside to celebrate Him. But a true Christian should celebrate Christ everyday. But for the Christian there is nothing wrong with celebrating them if it it done the right way. Yea Im a Christian but I guess you could say backslidden. But I have my beliefs and force them on no one. If you wanna know ask. No one likes to be forced fed religion, who does? But to me Christmas means remembrance of His birth, and witnessing to those who want to know, helping those less fortunate, family & yes presents. Giving is what is more important & its that idea that God gave his Son...Now pass me a budlight!!!
Oh lol...wrap your minds around this
"HO HO HO (Trinity. H and O are 6 letters apart 666)." Im goin to put this in my sig hehe
Jeremiah 10:2-5: 2. Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. 3. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. 4. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. 5. They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.

The winter solstice is a dismal time in northern latitudes. A good cheerful festival is pretty much essential which is why the Church went with the flow and took the unconquered sun solstice as an ideal time for a knees up (suitably re-organised of course ).
I like the colours, the Ho Ho Ho'ing, having the family around and feasting.
What's not to like? (well apart from the rampant consumerism and some dreadful xmas songs obviousment).
Cogito cogito ergo cogito sum
