does it really matter? all holidays are about spending time with your family and if you don't then that is on you

That's a good point there.

The real idea of Jesus was to follow in his example. We are supposed to be god-like and act like gods.

Instead what far too many Christians have done is put Jesus up on a pedestal to worship and grovel under.

That misses the whole point.

They's suppose to walk in his path, not grovel and worship him. ohwell

I always thought the real idea of Jesus was about loving each other, making sure we all have our needs met, not being judgmental of others, and instead of punishing, teaching that there is a better way.

Personally, that's exactly what I do. I'm neither a christian nor a pagan and my whole purpose in celebrating the holidays is to have fun and spend time with friends and family.

And the gift-giving is not a materialist thing for us. It's a sharing thing. It's about the giving, not the receiving. :smile:

I don't think there are any references to the "celebrating christ" more than this. To remember the sabath and keep it holy. I think the actual sabath is the day christ was either crucified or the day he arose, or maybe the three days involved there. To me christmas is a good time to give to children so they can have fun with some new things or blessings. I believe we should do whatever we feel confortable with concerning the issue. I think it has become way too commercialized.

Jesus did not want his birthday celebrated, the church saw to it that it became what we know it as today. And the business people saw to it that it became the buying of merchandise day that it has become. the only thing i believe Christ was concerned with was honoring his ressurection.

now - on the other hand if you do not celebrate my birthday and buy me millions of dollars worth of presents - you will go directly to hell!! - bigsmile
