You can save a lot of money, buying your Christmas decorations half way through January.

Short answer = No.

People talk about Christmas, sell Christmas, some even believe Christmas. But why should it only be for one day? Why not live the sentiment of Christmas every day? Why does our society only give it lip service in order to rip off people in the shops with false sales and inflated prices giving each other gifts that nobody really wants or really cares about after a very short time anyway.

If one believes in the true sentiment that has been bestowed supposedly on it, that being good will to others regardless of their race, faith, etc; the giving to others less fortunate, the forgiving others as Christ forgave us.... the list goes on. Why again are these things only celebrated one day (and that day just happening to be the same day pagans celebrate the winter solstice? - the source of the decorated tree custom, etc.)

Isn't Christmas supposed to be about remembering the Christ? Why do non-Christians observe Christmas? Maybe is is not about remembering Christ at all, so non-Christians are okay with it because nothing about it really impacts in our society for real change or even resonates in their soul.

Maybe it shouldn't be called Christmas (Christ Mass as the term came about from the Catholic church mass on this day).

No, I don't like Christmas because society, on the whole, is hypocritical when it comes to the observation of this festival that really has nothing to to with Jesus Christ (I don't know many shepherds out in the fields with their sheep in the dead of winter - as the bible clearly states that angels announced the birth of Christ to shepherds out in the fields at the time) and that was stolen or borrowed or plagiarized from the non-Christian believers who worship something other than God, the father of Jesus Christ on this very day.

Christmas for me is all about the Gateway which Yeshua opened for other nations to enter and be one with his FATHER, the nations entered through this GATE and were blessed and flourished, and after which the GATE is closed since centuries awaiting for the Messiah to come in and open it again, but this time the GATE is narrowed, only the few will enter, and on the Christmas day I pray that let everyone of us may be amongst those few ones.

galrads: I thought Jesus is the arangel Michael and Easter marks the root of Christianity




God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.

But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:

They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;
And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.

But to which of the angels said he at any times, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?

Hebrews 1:1-13

pedro27: Not really sir! The only good thing about it to me is seeing the joy in the little ones. That said...seeing those who don't get to be as happy, saddens me. Hope that doesn't come across as too gay!! crying

peace handshake
