Re: Why Is The "Christmas Spirit" So Different?
See, I just don't buy the argument that because something at one time had a pagan root that we can't participate in the current incarnation of the event. I don't have a problem with taking something bad and making something good out of it. Life is continually evolving and changing. Always. Time changes, culture changes, styles change, traditions change. Even Christmas as we know it now will probably be completely different in 100 years. We have so many traditions that had 'pagan' roots. The way we do funerals, funeral wreaths and flowers, the calendar, etc. etc. etc. It's not whether or not something at some point in time crossed paths with a pagan. It's why are WE doing it?
