The Christmas holiday celebrates the Winter Solstice. Christians stole that for the celebration of the birth of someone who was born in the spring. Not all that intelligent. -- rukbat at optonline dot net "I've heard the call. I believe God wants me to run for president." - George W.

Albumen skrev: The Christmas holiday celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ the philosopher whose fameous words were "Peace on Earth, good will to all men" That is what some people celebrate. I enjoy Christmas quite a bit, yet I am not Christian nor do I believe in Santa or elves or the pagan beliefs behind the much older reason for having a celebration at that time of the year. It is entirely consistant to show the face of the man on postage stamps and to display his image in a public forum. Along with Santa Claus and any other image that might be identified with the day. snip |

Every time I go Christmas shopping in crowded malls where parking is impossible, I think Scrooge was right. |

However, I do have a young daughter (who stopped believing in Santa 3 years ago, thank goodness) and like to make it a nice time for her. That's why I shop on line. woohoo! -- Robyn Resident Witchypoo #1557 |
