Holidays - November 2006

My reasons are: It is driven by commercialism, Christmas is nowhere mentioned in the Bible, Jesus wasn't born on or near Dec. 25th, Christmas is largely a recycled pagan celebration, God condemns using pagan customs to worship Him, Christmas is worshipping God in vain, and, you can't put Christ back into something He was never in! When I celebrate Christmas, I don't include God. I'm told Christians shouldn't celebrate Christ & Christmas together. The above is my own opinion and I'm not trying to influence anyone! I'm curious as to what your opinion is on this matter.

I am a freshman in college, so I just got a brand new macbook and furnishings etc, for my dorm room. When my parents asked me what I wanted for christmas I was at a loss for idea? I got an ipod last year, and I was considering that I might want a digital camera, but there are so many different ones that I am not sure which one to ask for. Any suggestions on the camera? or any other gift possibilities?

So christmas and easter have pagan origins... o.k. one problem... christians are not supposed to be pagan! So what do we do?
(A) Go to the Jewish Folks , sweetly and politely ask them on how to celebrate Passover and the Saturday Shabbats (sabbtath) { Jesus was a Jew and he celebrated the sabbath and Passover. Why can't we?!} and if we could adopt them as our own.
(B) If the Jewish folks reply," Heck no! We don't want to share anything with you christians! Get your own celebrations and festivals! and so we go away and somehow make up our own. { Hey, we might actually make up something good}
(C) decide" Hey since Christmas and Easter are pagan, why don't just stop celebrating these holidays and declare ourselves as the only religion of earth that doesn't have its own festival and holidays and celebrate anything we want to at anytime!
(D) other/ your answer

Would you ever go shopping on the day after Thanksgiving? Personally I wouldn't cause I work in retail after 7 years and I know how busy it can get on the day after Thanksgiving and that is the day I never really look forward to working.

Plus I can't stand being in the large crowds and customers pushing each other to get what they want.
