is it fair that non-christians celebrate christmas with presents and christmas trees? i can't stand it when people openly say how they hate religion and christianity, then come christmas time, they brag about their christmas presents. that goes for easter too. people openly reject jesus christ's resurrection but they celebrate easter. and to add insult to injury, they completely change the meaning by having egghunts and bunnies.

-edit- uh yeah. you can't have it both ways! either become a christian and partake in our holidays, or stay an atheist/agnostic and don't celebrate our holidays, and don't change our holidays either!

Didnt Santa supposedly choose 12/25 because of its an important religious holiday? (I saw that on a tv special once ); and well.. too many people onli know/think of santa.. and dont know the religious signifiance (I onli found out recently ..); not sure about Easter though.. dunno much about it.. dont celebrate it at all



Hypocrisy is pretty much a part of human nature..

FYI Easter is the ressurection of jesus, right? Yea, children really celebrate christmas without knowing the true meaning of that day. Unless they go to service on christmas, then they wont know unless their parents tell them. All the christmas movies have to do with santa and what not. I know of some kids that celebrate christmas, even if they aren't christian or catholic. They just do it to "fit" in or parents do it to their children so that the child wont feel jealous. But what i dont get about christmas is why we give EACH OTHER presents? Why do we put up christmas lights? Why do we wear red and green? Why do we give kids presents on Easter? Why do we have egg hunts in easter? I think christmas is getting more and more commercialized. Unfortunatly, people do celebrate christmas and easter as if it was a non-religious holiday like halloween. I think people have a choice. To celebrate christmas as the birth of jesus, or chirstmas as the season of giving. But hypocrits are another thing. If you really talk bad about christians or catholics or jesus, then why would you wanna celebrate christmas? That's the problem, most people celebrate christmas or easter for the presents, not the meaning
