Christmas - December 2006

I don't celebrate Christmas, but I understand why so many people do. Many believe it is the birthday of Jesus, so some do it to honor him. Others like getting or giving presents, singing carols, the stories and so on. I understand all that.

But I don't understand why anyone would want a pine tree in their house. The mess that must make must be huge. First getting it inside can't be easy, and rubbing against everything probably knocks off quite a few pine needles. You probably knock off quite a few more decorating the thing, and then many just naturally fall off as the time passes. Then I've heard of more than a few occasions where an animal didn't quite make it out of the tree before it got inside the house, so you might have squirrels and raccoons and such ready and waiting to scratch the living hell out your face for your trouble. Why keep this tradition, it seems so painful and time-consuming?

She likes a lot of different things, and I just want a great idea. Something like clothes, jewelry, etc., but more specific. Thanks!

Do you think it's too early to put up a christmas tree? When do you put yours up?

you think we christians are whining about the Political left coming against us is that it? we have to include all that what this is right?
well wake up people, the real truth is no one on left radical side wanna answer up to! the whole issue is you lefty dont want any CHRISTIAN symbols of religion in public awareness and thats what this is all about! dec 25 is the Big holiday where people buy gifts to give. gift giving is not a major theme of other holidays so people spend more this time of year for one reason christmas not kwaanza not hannukah or some tree hugging pagan group so deal with it its christmas!

I feel Christmas is a special time of year for Christians throughout the world. Why are we being penalized for believing in Christ? I have no problem with Jews, Budhists and Muslims celebrating their holidays without changing the names and holidays they believe in.

I've lived in Canada my whole life, so it's always cold and snowy for Christmas. I've always wondered if it really feels like Christmas in places like Florida or California, where it never snows. Does it?

Amidst all the happiness that surrounds the Holiday Season, I have always found it to be a bit of a sad time of year as well. Christmas Carols even seem to have a hint of melancholy to them. And it seems that you hear about more bad things hapenning during Christmastime.

Why does such a happy time also hold a bit of saddness?

Every year families send out Christmas Cards with a photo of the kids. More and more every year. Do you like getting them? Are you sick of them? Why or why not?
