Like hot chocolate, carols, and sleigh rides, it's just not Christmas without it! I celebrate Christmas each year, but I have never understood why people get upset over threads like that. If you believe it is okay to celebrate Christmas and want to, do so. If you think it's Satanic origins makes it unclean, don't celebrate it. Let everyone be convinced in their own minds, and so what if someone tries to change your mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's a modified version of a pagan holiday but now it has become a time of the year when even hard hearted people soften up a bit. Christmas makes people think about God and it's 1 of the best times to talk of Jesus. So now I like it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they think it's a sin then they need to not celebrate Christmas. As for me it's ok. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is also the one time only day of remembrance of my being here three quarters of a century. Always celebrated on the first of November each year, All Saints Day celebrates those Saints who are not honored on a special separate day during the year so that they may be honored on this day.

Guest Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) I celebrate Christmas on my terms. For me it means church and prayer. Good food, thoughtful presentscetc. Goodwill and kindness to all. It is first and foremost acknowledgment of Christ's birth, no matter when exactly as that is unknown. He came to us. That is the joy. The rest of it matters not. Lots of nonsense goes on but it is nothing to me. I worship our Lord's birth and the glorious significance. I love to hear carols, choirs and the pure prayers. Take from it what you need, same as i do with church. Select what matters, disregard the actions of unbelievers and their versions of christmas.

Brothers and sisters, the same demonic mindset is trying to stop us today from talking about our Jesus, Christmas is Jesus and Jesus is the reason for the season, for us, ...not the celebration of saturnalia, I often wonder if I had broken the rule and told him about Jesus..., may I humbly suggest we pray and ask the Lord to bring someone hurting or some hurting family into our lives this Christmas season, I know for some of us the Lord has blessed us and with all of the food we prepare there is enough room at the table for an extra chair or two, ...and those that He has given enough for just one day, maybe it's an opportunity to share the Love/Bounty of Christ, ...Christmas is a time for my wife and I to celebrate the birth of our Savior, but at the same time we are looking for someone to share it with.
