Gifts aren't about how much they cost, but rather the thought and care put into them. Have you given or received an awesome gift that didn't break the bank?

Mythkiller-Zuba: You lost me with the whole Jezeus business (and I don't think I really care to be enlightened on it!). By the "sword" may be meant the Gospel, which is the means of dividing and separating the people of Christ from the men of the world. That is not to say that we cannot celebrate Christmas! Teach your children the biblical aspect of it, as well as educating them in the secular, so that they can both appreciate and understand WHY we celebrate Christmas! That in itself can be the best/free gift you give your child! "Be wise as a serpent, innocent as a dove"~Matthew 10:16 We are bobmbarded with the 'idea' of 'X-mas' and everything worldly associated with it - like it or not! And to simply NOT celebrate Christmas would be a disservice to our children. We must teach them in the home that which we want them to know. Otherwise, they will learn what the world teaches. Arm yourself with God's word - that is the sword!
I had to respond here publicly so as not to seem ashamed.

An old friend once made a beautiful card with a poem in it and I loved that forever coz it was handmade from so little and looked like so much. Thought was put into it too. Ah well. Got rid of most old friend stuff by now after some of hubby's relatives said wives shouldn't keep it, but I kept that card, darn it. :)

Both. First is the one that I received. It was a gift that my children
made for me. Now for the given. I do a lot of crafts(handcrafts,
painting, and I am a floral designer) and it seemed that all but the
young children in my family were insulted if I bought something
that I personally did'nt make.

The gift of Reason:-

CHRISTMAS IS LIKE SANTA CLAUS

You know the Fatman is a fake and a lie, but you go along with it anyway, as you deceive the kids and make them future liars to their own kids.

The Dictionary of the Bible says that: By the 5th. Century, the Church (of Rome) had concerned itself enough to have set December 25 as the date of Jesus’ birth. This had been the date of the Festival of the Sun God Zeus and to the Christians a greater light was come, Jesus Christ, the true light of the World.

Fact is - the Sun God is Zeus, and Jesus is really Jezeus, and the Romans worshipped Zeus, and you can see Barnabas being called Zeus by the Priests of Zeus in the Acts of the Apostles 14:12-13, in the Bible. Mithra was another son of Zeus, but Je-Zeus was Zeus come down as his own son, which made him strictly a Roman God.

Sunday is also the day that was set aside for worship of the Sun God (Zeus) by the Romans.

The Winter Solstice gives us the shortest day in the year, December 22, as the birth of the new Sun, so Rome shifted it to the 25 December in order to celebrate the Feast of the Circumcision eight days later, on 1 January, in accepting Jezeus Christos as the Living God of the Sun risen from the dead.

Zeus and the Fathers of Christianity did not know there was a Southern Hemisphere that did not share the Sun God Zeus or his four seasons, or his twelve disciples or twelve months of the year with the Northern Hemisphere, and it is for this reason that Australia celebrates Christmas twice each year, with the White Christmas falling in June but is called Christmas in July since they know it is a lie.

So Christmas and Christianity were as ignorant of the nature of the Planet as was Santa Claus of the South Pole, and just as the Pope was afraid that Christopher Columbus might fall off the flat Planet in his attempt to reach India traveling westwards, so were Santa Claus and Zeus afraid to go below the Planet and into the Fires of Hell.

When Pope John Paul ii declared the Shroud of Turin a medieval fake after having it scientifically carbon-dated in 1988, he failed to point out that the Bible describes the use of two shrouds, with one for the head and another for the “body” of the 100 lbs of aloes and myrrh, the other perfect hoax.

TRY SOME HONESTY THIS YEAR.
EXPOSE THE FRAUD OF SANTA THE UNHOLY.

BRING THE TRUTH OF THE MESSIAH FROM THE QURAN TO LIGHT SO THAT MEN WHO ARE BORN BLIND MIGHT SEE THAT THE ONE TRUE GOD CAN HAVE NO SON OR NO PARTNER
.
HE IS ONE, HE ALWAYS WAS, HE IS, AND HE ALWAYS WILL BE!

PEACE ON EARTH AND GOODWILL TO ALL OF HUMANITY!

Was it Jesus who said, “Think not that I am come to send Peace on Earth. I came not to send Peace but a Sword.” Matthew 10:34?

So! Christmas is like Santa Claus, and so is the naming of the baby Jesus since the Gospels exclude the mother from this false naming of the child and the prophecy of Isaiah 7:14, states that the mother shall name the child “Immanuel”.

The most cherished gifts I have gotten are cards and crafts made by my children and nephews and nieces. They are worth more than any other present to me.
