Her youngest child is still young enough at 3 to be " fooled " although they have had to postpone my daughters birthday as well since she understands mummy has a birthday on Christmas day I am sitting here remembering so many years of frantic wrapping of gifts after retrieving them from hiding places , getting to bed about 2 am to be woken (???) up as soon as my head hot the pillow to screams of joy from 4 little ones ( the one year they didnt get up till about 5am my next door neighbours were phoning to find out what was wrong as they had been waiting up to hear them since their children were all grown up ) A quick breakfast and off to church followed by a long day with all the family at my parents house and my daughters birthday in the afternoon . SOOOO thankful that today all I have to do is answer endless phone calls and see to the dogs One year my folks got a stop sign and put it at the bottom of the stairs. Hoping that we would stay upstairs until a decent hour so they could get to sleep. They forgot that my younger brothers would squeal and bang on the bedroom door until they got up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bible says you can't honor Him the way the pagans honor their gods. It's a heresy when you do. Deuteronomy 12:30 The holiday is certainly a mysterious mixed bag . . . so what does NT scripture say regarding how to handle such things? "Therefore, no one is to act as your judge in regard to food and drink, or in respect to a festival or a new moon, or a Sabbath day." (Colossians 2:16) "One person regards a certain day above the others, while someone else considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. 6He who observes a special day does so to the Lord;b he who eats does so to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God. "Why, then, do you judge your brother? Or why do you belittle your brother? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat" Romans 14:5-6, 10 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debunking myths... the star appeared in the east to Magi who were living east of Israel / Judea it did not hover over Bethlehem nor did it lead the Magi to Israel (most likely Daniel told them a king would be born in Israel when the star appeared) they went to Jerusalem and consulted Herod who consulted the Priests who pointed to Bethlehem Ephratath the trek of the Magi concluded 2 years after the star appeared in the east (which is why Herod ordered the slaughter of all male children in and near Bethlehem from 2 years old and younger) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It goes clear back to Jewish 'mythology'. For rather arcane reasons, long before Jesus was born the Jews decided that the world was created on March 25, and for reasons that made perfect sense to people back then they concluded that the Messiah would be conceived on that same day. The early church, when it was still heavily Jewish, just carried that tradition over -- so when the idea of celebrating Christ's birth came along, they added nine months to March 25 and got December 25. To be fair, many of them knew that wasn't correct, but there was no budging the March 25 notion; it was too widely accepted. So we got December 25 and no one has bothered to try to fix it; it's become too solid a part of the church year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is heresy. His real name is not even Jesus anyway. It's Yahusha/Yahusha, or some say Yeshua. Jesus means earth pig. The Je is from the word Geology Sus is pig. I laughed so hard it hurt! "Je" has nothing to do with "Geology"; the Greek letter for "J" isn't even in the Greek word for "geology". And "sus" is what you get when you take a male name from Hebrew and try to write it in Greek. Creative humor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
