Despite all the commercialism, yes, I certainly do, even though the world seems to ignore that we're celebrating the birth of Christ.
If you didn't see "The Nativity Story" at the theatres when it came out last year, buy it or rent it this year. An excellent movie. I was afraid they'd change things and it wouldn't be Biblically correct, but that wasn't the case. It's very moving, and I bought it a few weeks ago, and will be watching it with my family this weekend.
Take a moment sometime this season and read the Biblical account of Jesus' birth. Remind yourself - and your family - exactly what we're celebrating.

Because people use to be family oriented and gifts were frugal so the meaning was there. People cared then, but now families are not as close because of having to work many jobs to make ends meet. Also retailers, who now must make quotas, bombard the airways with expensive gifts for kids saying that your kid NEEDS these things. The closest thing to the original idea of Christmas can still be seen on movies like The Bishop's Wife (the one with Carry Grant not the remake), Miracle on 34th street (Again the original) and It's a wonderful life. Due to all these years, people are more concerned with image and NOT hurting their Children's feelings, and forgetting what was real. For those who claim it is a pagan holiday: Early Christians had two separate dates for the birth of Christ. Since there was much bickering about it, the Church's higher ups decided to choose a date that would (like the name Catholic) be a universal date. They chose the 25th. Not because it was a pagan holiday (that day falls on the 21st and 22nd) but because it was around that date and was an easy draw if they were to begin pulling the pagans into their fold. They did similar to Easter and took all hollows eve and turned it into all souls day. The idea is similar to the idea that the vail between our world and the spirits are easy to commune with.

The real reason for the season is about 5000 years old. However in our modern society and times, retail business's and corporations give it a different meaning to cap profits for the year; while chook's , turkeys and pigs would hate the fact if they could, that they are the animals annually ,sacrificed and sourced for the festive celebrations.

Honestly people everywhere view christmas different ways. Everyone has there own little "real" meaning of christmas and everyone is right. The whole point of christmas is believing in things and your own idea would be something you believe in. The show Shrek the Halls gives a perfect example of this......All the fairy tale creatures had their iown view on christmas. Thats what it really means :]

To me, it's spending time with your loved ones. It should be more like Thanksgiving, where you share time together with family sitting around the fire with family you don't normally see year around and it shouldn't be to see which store made the biggest profits. However, it is exciting to see the kids' faces light up when they see the presents.
