The Christmas tradition of gifts and giving is based on the story of the three wise men bringing gifts to baby Jesus.
Christmas is not based on "money, evil, and greed", at least not for everyone. It depends on how you and your family or friends celebrate it. Anyhow, Merry Christmas everyone. |

QUOTE(barelyy_coherent @ Dec 25 2004, 12:22 PM) I remember reading the other thread about "You can't have it both ways", meaning you can't be Anti-Christian and celebrate Christmas either. Well, Christmas isn't even about Christ anymore, so yes, you can have both. Christmas has lost all meaning. It's just made of money, evil and greed. christmas is STILL all about christ....people juss dun remember that its about christ and they juss think about the stupid presents they get...im not gonna complain about it cuz you get all the things you could......you get presents, school off, spending time wif yor family....what else do you want? n e who........merry christmas to everybody! |

QUOTE Yay for the most materialistic day of the year. This is by far the stupidest time of year. How did Christmas come to trading gifts? Christmas was about celebrating the birth of Christ, no? Why is this day only about exchanging gifts? Anyways, merry f*cking christmas. Don't get run over. There's your f**king Christmas spirit, Santa. Bite me. rofl. ur right, it HAS become the most materialistic day of the year. its a shame that people forget the meaning of Christmas. none the less, Merry Christmas everybody. QUOTE Well, Christmas isn't even about Christ anymore, so yes, you can have both. says those who have no faith in Christ and those who reject the true meaning of Christmas. Christmas is still about Christ. Opinions on this does not matter. It will ALWAYS be about Christ because thats what Christmas IS about, not what people THINK. |

And once more:
Christmas is about the birth of Christ, December 25th, however, is only about Christ for the sake of conversion. Therefore, just celebrate the way you want. Anyway, Merry Christmas to Christians, and Happy Holidays to the rest of us~~! If you want non-Christians to not say Merry CHRISTmas, then copyright/trademark the word. |

oh noo... yikes.
Yes, Christmas is about the birth of Christ and spending time with loved ones, but it was once only a holiday just to "chill and have fun," during the 4th century. The belief and story of "The Birth of Christ" was commercialized during the early 20th century. go research the history about Christmas (if you find results about the Birth of Christ, keep searching, cuz it wasnt all about the Birth of Christ, but they made it like that during the early 20th century. Many ppl arent even aware of the history.) Merry Christmas all, and remember, Christmas is all about family, friends, and love. **EDIT** Wait.. i found the history. IGNORE THE POST ABOUT THE 4TH CENTURY ABOVE. The History of Christmas This should explain some confusion. I can't believe i read the newspaper to see that it originated from the 4th century. |

heathen is such a strong/harsh word. it's like loathing. You're going to make it a cliche. And that isn't good for my english essays.

I attack... when? More like, I defend myself against self-righteous Christians who forget that the message of God is love, not seperation. And please, you're talking to this one heathen, do not generalize me. I don't attack unless I'm provoked. Quite civilized way of approaching things unlike how Christians waged wars in the past for the sake of conversion. On another note, I love being called a heathen . Suits me fine. However, on the definition of heathens being uncivilized/unenlightened, haha, I would actually have to test out what is your definition of being uncivilized/unelightened.Anyway, like I said, if you like hearing "Christmas" from us infidels, then why did you complained about us calling it "CHRISTMas"? But once more, if you have a problem with it, copyright it, or else f**k off. |

I do believe 'heathen' has a negative connotation.
I do believe Christians are suppose to have love for others. Negative connotations ain't so hot in the field of loving others. |

Actually it's a Pagan holiday. The traditions are all Pagan, but the origin is Christian because of the birth of Christ. You can celebrate Jesus' birth and not exchange gifts at all. Or you exchange gifts and do it the Pagan way and not ever remember the birth of Christ. Or you can do both; exchange gifts and remember "the reason for the season".
Happy Christmas, and don't be so bitter. |
