I have heard and read so many things about the christmas season and all the people who call themselves christian hold fast to the traditions of their ansestors. Christmas was put into place by the Catholic church to combat the winter solstice. I know that Christ was not born on this day so i am not going into that. Where I am going is with the word Idolater. This word is from the greek Eidoloatres and means = a worshipper of false gods used of anyone even christian, participant in anyway in the worship of the heathen (pagan/gentile). Now partcipant is = Sharing in or taking part. Involve is a synonyme of participate which is = To have as a part. So if idolatry is a sin and states so many times in the bible (1 Corinthians 5:10&11, 6:9 10:7, Ephesians 5:5, Revelation 21:8, 22:15) then why do so many still celebrate this season. I am a true believer in Christ and God so please do not try to tell my that I know not what I am talking about. Praise be to God not man www.thetruthfromabove.com

Christmas is the day we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Many people have forgotten the true meaning of the day and think it is all about the gifts they receive. Actually, we should give of ourselves to others not only on Christmas but every day of the year.

Just accept in your heart there was a savior born. Know one knows the exact date Jesus was born. The part you are getting caught up in is about fact. God ask us to believe based on faith in something greater then ourselves. My advise is to believe in your heart and celebrate the birth of Jesus, God's only son

' A rose by anynother name, is still a ROSE.'
It is obvious that the origin of xmas is the winter solstice celebration.
Will God understand that some celebrate it because they are mislead???????

If you don't want to celebrate Christmas, fine but don't dare tell others how to behave! What does it matter when we celebrate His birth What matters is that we do!

When I was a kid I did it to get the gifts. Now I overdo it to piss off the anti-Christmas clowns.
