Big Bobby - the Bible says that other people should get gifts on Dec 25? Can you please provide chapter and verse?

Most fundamentalist I know do celebrate Christmas. They see the example of gift giving by the wise men as an expression of love. Some of the most hard core fundamentalists do not use Christmas trees as they see them as pagan in origin. My own family took down a Christmas tree when I was 9 for this reasons. That only lasted for 1 year. Lots of Christians worship at religious services designed to honor Jesus's birth.
But historically you are right. For years there was no lights, tree, presents, or feasts for Christmas.

The gift of Christmas should be just spending it with your family and friends, eating a meal together and honoring that you live under a house and are healthy human beings.

God entrusted His circumstances and His seasons to the Jewish human beings and has constantly carried out in accordance to His calender. Christs dying corresponds with Passover, we call Him our Passover lamb. So in Gods calender what's December twenty 5th? to furnish susceptible parallels to celebrating issues no longer on their days, the assertion of Independence became surely signed on 2 July. And the Queen of england became born in March, however the sturdy party of her birthday is talked approximately in June because of the fact the climate is greater effective then. Plus, what share circumstances have you ever celebrated your birthday on the very day you have been born? till now in line with threat, after too? no longer attempting to offend you.

It's not about what you 'deserve'. It's about giving, sharing and celebrating life. If you don't want to give gifts, don't. Celebrate in whatever way suits you. Just try not to be judgmental of how other people celebrate.

Because christmas is all about morality and guilt - and not deserving one unless you remember baby jesus.
If you don't give kids - presants how can you take the moral high ground and make them think of jesus?
So it's brainwashing through guilt and shame.
It also encourages the belief that christmas isn't just a morality compitition and is about presants as well (but of course these are all about morality).

To be honest Christmas to me is one day off work, so any sort of celebration is not going to happen

In the true spirit of Christmas, no presents are necessary.
