Not only that.... it really ****es off a lot of Christians, because they know it is celebrating a Pagan holiday with a ton of Pagan trappings.... and they will do anything to prevent being guilty of idolatrous worship.... ... there are a lot of Christian children around here that will get no presents and wouldn't want them, if they did.... there are Christian homes with absolute prohibitions against anything associated with Christmas.... no trees, no 12 days, no Yule log, no parades, no exchanging gifts, no ornaments, no mistletoe, no green, no red, no presents, no Santa, and *certainly* no eggnog. And you'll NEVER catch THEM saying, "Merry Christmas." http://www.rapidnet.com/~jbeard/bdm/...xmas/celeb.htm Don't be so quick to paint all Christians with that broad brush. Wow, and in my 50 years I have never met one, much less heard of one trying to shut down my celebration... hummmmmm... Me neither. But Gene has many living right around his house. Do you reckon he polls the neighbors to see which are Christians, which prohibit anything to do with Christmas, which don't say "Merry Christmas", and so on. Must be hard to get all those questions answered. Nah, it is quite easy. I have in-laws that constantly want to *save* me with their particular twist on "the way the truth and the light." I don't have to ask to get questions answered.... you folks are usually pretty "in your face" about what your Lord and God demandeth other folks shall know and follow. I have a tree and mistletoe, they don't.... go figure..... You're just hoping you'll get kissed. |
