If Christmas really was about celebrating the birth of Christ, and what his birth has meant to us, this would in no way bring about a desire to have heaps of gifts piled up under a tree for you and your loved ones, it would have nothing to do with a fat man in a red suit telling kids all their wishes have been granted, it would have nothing to do with the hundreds of bombardments of advertising by retailers to be sure you buy the perfect present for your loved one with fancy red bows on them, and it would have nothing to do with jingle bells, snowmen, candy canes, reindeer or sugar cookies.

All of it makes me sick.

I know there are threads about this every year. I just couldn't let this year go by without another one :D

Unpopular surely, but I do think more people are beginning to tire of the unending materialism pushed at you every where you go this time of year. Ugh.

Nope! Not my "cup of tea" either! Never has been and never will be!

I just don't see it that way at all. I guess I live in a different world.

So celebrate it yourself with the right focus and maybe you'll change someone else's life along the way.

Its really a bad thing in my opinion. Teach children about a omnipresent invisible judge. Then when they find out it was all a lie.....try to preach the gospel of Jesus. So yes it is a lie and we should teach our children from scripture about the birth of Jesus.
