Re: Should a Christian celebrate Christmas ?
I understand the pagan roots of Christmas or saturnalia is where it originated from,but the question remains can one put up a Christmas tree without worshipping it,or participate in Christmas customs without worshipping idols ?
I do some holiday things,and I am aware of the origin of these things.
I do respect brothers and sisters who abstain from all Christmas customs.
I do enjoy exchanging gifts,to be honest since I have been married I have never had a tree,but I don't cast people into the pit that do have one.
To some I would be a compromiser,but I can't please everybody.
I have always told my girls the truth about Santa Claus and such,but I am involved in some holiday things so to one faction I'm proably a heathen.
We have never hunted easter eggs,at my house also,but I'm not out here lamblasting everybody.
My advice would be to study the origin of things,pray and then the Holy Spirit guide you in what you should do.
