I am a Pagan, and last night I attended a lutheran ceremony about christmas. Turns out however, while I was trying to teach my son about the meaning of Jesus and Christmas, so he understood all the facts, the entire service was about how you can celebrate Jesus in Halloween, st. valentines day, thanksgiving, etc. They did it by months of the year, but ended up skipping all those without a major pagan festival... I didn't know weather to be annoyed or outraged or start a giggle fit....
I was honestly trying to teach my son, why christians celebrate Christmas. They had a manger at the end, but it was about thirty kids shoved in a small area, singing away in a manger.... you couldn't even see where the fake jesus was!
So what is the focus of Christmas? I thought of all places that a church would tell my son the story of Jesus birth in the Bible!
Pagans: is it important to teach them the meaning if they themselves don't focus on it?
Christians: where did jesus go?
