However December 25th is a day of celebration of a false pagan god. That is the view of the Christian fundamentalist minority, a.k.a. Jehova's Witnesses. Are you one of them, Cody? While Christmas may have become a commercialised free-for-all, the message is still very much alive. That is why we hear Christmas Carols everywhere and go to Nativity concerts at children's schools at this time of year. The giving of gifts is symbolic of the conferring of gifts on the baby Jesus by the Magi and I suppose to some degree it is also symbolic of the Lord's gift (of his only son) to mankind. Would you prefer it if no goodwill prevailed over Christmas time and that we just went along with our lives with scant regard to the purpose of celebrating such a momentous day as the birth of Jesus? Every Christian I know celebrates the birth of Jesus on 25 December every year. What pagan god are you on about? |

The Idolatrous Pagans and the Neo-Nazi Pagans came later. Still Cranky Jim |
