Is Christmas even Christian?

To answer the question. OF COURSE! Look at the word Christmas. CHRIST, the savior of the world . MAS shortened from MASS, a service of the catholic church and we know they are Christian, CHRISTMAS, so what's the problem.

There is a lot of alcohol in your celebrations.

Re: Is Christmas even Christian?

I notice the person who was offended at my remarks a out UPCI culture was blasting someone about their misgivings of the winter solstice. Even if disagreement I never ridicule personal convictions. I have concerns about judgmental attitudes associated with those views. I applaud the person who disagrees with Xmas. People are lying to ther kids when they convince kids Santa Claus is real. My kids know about Saint Nicholas. I never tried to get my kids excited about mythical characters.

There isn't anything wrong with drinking unless you feel it's wrong for you.

I have stomach issues that prevent me from drinking as I don't feel it is wrong on certain occasions, just cant.

"Hopefully this wasn't about my post."
It was. Trying to dismiss facts with sarcasm is a tired meme. Jesus is not the reason for the season. Here's the REAL reason for the season http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=fsPytnhTd8M

Not sure yet. We have so much to do. I'm going to revisit some possible job prospects while we are there and trying to check out a couple schools.
