I think the main gist of the matter is we have forgotten the ordained festivals or "feasts" of what was celebrated by God's people. Even in the times of Jesus.
Now, some argue that Jesus' death and resurrection did away with the old laws or "covenant" but I wonder how God feels about that, because there is NO specific verse in the NT that says "forget those festivals there people, party when ya when to"... There are alot of verses talking about God's people forgetting His commandments, forgetting His laws, and just plain forgetting about HIM. |

Would Jesus…
Have a tree? Have lights on his house? Buy gift’s for his family instead of giving to those in need? Fight for a parking space close to the front of the store? Lie to his kids about santa? and say do these things in my name and that will make it ok...? from heaven or from men? I wish the things above were all I had to fight in my day to day...hahaha I hope everyone understands the Lord's word as he wants you to ... God bless |

I leave it at that and just say Merry Christmas. Most folks know that means my "Holiday" is Christmas. Sometimes the poor people out there are either under orders from management or just scared to offend due to the sick PC culture we live in. So I don't hold it against them, but I let it be known that Jesus is the reason for ALL seasons.

My main reason for posting this was this thread was about the fact that we are celebrating a lie and I wondered how those of you whom choose not to celebrate any part of it felt about me even just saying Merry Christmas in return to 'Happy Hollidays' as some here have stated they don't celbrate so was I just spreading the lie? (Also, I do have a fever today and was dragging as it was - so let's say I was feeling up to par - who here would have taken it a step further and evangelized?) btw- one of you replied that it is often the pc thing and ppl are afraid of their bosses - which is true. The saleclerk did reply again Merry Christmas after I said it :thup2 and she then actually offered me a back for my 2 liter of soda (the drink of the carbonated gods - LOL) Last edited by Being Conformed : 12-14-2006 at 08:20 PM. |

Oh, I celebrate. I just don't celebrate CHRIST-MASS.
All the family tries to get together while they are off for the holidays. We bake a bunch of gingerbread cookies so we can bite thier heads off! LOL! We make egg-nog and sometimes have a bottle of wine. Play games and watch movies, etc. after we have said blessing over a nice meal. We even dress up the house with scented candles and flowers (poinsettas). And we don't do the exchanging of gifts thing. We do buy a gift or two for the small children so they will have something to keep them occupied while us adults play dominoes or watch a movie!!! So, we have a jolly good time!!! And we're not broke afterwards!!! I just don't claim that the reason for our party is the birth of Christ. It has been a very freeing experience to let go of the lies. As far as the store clerk, my response would have problably been "God bless you". That one kinda fits at any time of the year. BC, you can say Merry Christmas to me anytime. I know you mean well by it.

Good point BC, I haven't really thought of that slant to it. I guess since I don't really have a problem with celebrating his birthday on Dec. 25 even though I know it probably didn't happen then. So to me, I just want folks to respect the season, not the inaccuracies.
Sorry to hear you are under the weather. I pray you get well soon.
