Christmas was never about Christ. Let the pagans have the holiday back.

Re: Do you celebrate Christmas?

So far, all the folks who celebrate Christ's Mass do so with the additions of trees, Santa Claus, and so forth.

Interesting...

Re: Do you celebrate Christmas?

We celebrate with all the 'normal' stuff, but we make a point not to go overboard with the kids regarding Santa and gifts. We kinda let them decide if they believe in him and when they get older, they'll figure out it was in fun. BTW, I think my 9 year old has figured it out, but keeps the joke going for our 6 year old. First and foremost it's about the start of God's redemptive plan and that's why we have way more Christian Christmas CDs playing than secular. Nothing wrong with a few gifts, some decorations, and family get-togethers as long as that's not the only time of year you celebrate Jesus.

Re: Do you celebrate Christmas?

Well I am part of the catholic (universal- not Roman Catholic) church and we choose to celebrate "Christmas" in the traditional manner. We do a tree, get together with family and friends and give and receive gifts. We do not forget that it is a day when we celebrate Jesus Christ -God who came to dwell among us as a man to die on the cross for our sins.

In my opinion, Christmas is one of those things where we as Christians need to respect one another's opinions and not condemn one another about.
