Christmas
Before I give my take on this, let me say that I’m not trying to thrash other people  who believe differently, I’m just trying to express my beliefs on this.

Have you ever stopped to think ‘why do I celebrate Christmas’?  Why do we celebrate any holiday while were at it?   Sadly, the majority of people can’t tell you why they do.  You’ll hear some people say that they don’t celebrate Christmas or Easter because they have pagan roots, well this post is not to step on their toes, I know it their hearts they want to honor God; it’s to encourage you to take time to remember what Christ did for you.  Christmas might not be the exact day Christ was born, but do we necessarily  have to celebrate someone’s birth on the exact day? Think about this for a minute, let’s say N’s birthday is Friday October 30, but the family can have more of a celebration on the 31. Does this make it wrong because they celebrate N’s birthday on Halloween when it isn’t even her birthday? Of course not!! What if her presents are wrapped in black and orange paper, then is it wrong? No! The problem is not in the fact that we celebrate Christ’s birth on a day that is the same has a pagan one, but that we take the time to remember! Remember what He has done for us! Just like we take communion or celebrate Easter,  so that we don’t forget  Him, we go to church so we don’t forget His ways.  Do it to remember.    Someone explained a Christmas tree to me like this:
“The star represents the star over Bethlehem,
The tree represents Jesus dying (in 2nd Peter puts it has ‘upon a tree’)
And the lights represent the Light of the world.”
Now if your out worshiping pagan gods, obsessing over what you can get, and worshiping the tree, then  maybe it‘s sin to you.  Anyway, that is how my family goes about Christmas.  If you have any questions or anything, then leave a comment, send an email, message or IM me ,whichever is easier for you. =)
Merry Christmas,
