Marry Christ-mas Jesus is the reason for the season.

Give to the needy or someone that you know is out of work if you can.

Don't forget about the Pagen God. He was the reason for the season first :)

Why the sour comeback, this is a Christian question?

commented 12 years ago

Colleen

No, it was not a Christian question. It was a Romos question. He is facing hard times. He will celebrate but spending is questionable. I was not sour, just reminding you that it is also a Pagan holiday, it was theirs first. There are still Pagans today. It is the day of their God's birth. Their religion is just as important a reason for the season.

But I do wish you a very Merry Christmas in the spirit of the day being about your Savior. I know that it is a very important day to you and I really do not want to take that from you. He IS the reason for your season. Peace be with you and all you love.

I don't know why Dec. 25 was chosen to be Jesus birth as it was more likely in the fall, Sept. maybe. Maybe they did Want to override the pagan god, nevertheless it is the time we accept to celebrate his birth, Thank You and God Bless.

They chose it as a ploy to get the Pagans to convert to Christianity. The deal was, if the Pagans converted, they could continue to celebrate the holiday in the same manner they were accustomed to. Nothing would change and their festivities would be incorporated into the Christian celebration. Hence the Christmas tree. The tree comes from the Pagans along exchanging gifts and the burning of the Yule log. The Christmas celebration is more Pagan than it is Christian.

If a few Pagans were converted, that was a good thing, now if only we could convert a few more.

We bake Jesus a Birthday cake every Christmas. It is a good way to celebrate his birthday and keep our minds on why we celebrate.
No matter the date on the calander... we think it is cause for celebration.
Thank or the well wishes Colleen. Loe ya!

I was talking to Randy about the ancient Pagans and how easy it was to convert them, lol. They converted just to keep partying. I wouldn't say they were true believing Christians after converting ;)

that's right 'jesus is the reason for the season'...

commented 12 years ago

Colleen

Wow really? Who woulda thunk it? Jesus is the reason 'eh?
Somewhere in history I thought it was the Pagan God who was the reason for the season, til the Christians took it over...hmmm. Might have to look at the history of Dec 25th again.

This is a happy season for people who sell and make a lot of money. They spend a lot for advertising. We are SOLD the holiday. I don’t like that very much ... I just like to buy buy buy. Dam!

If you want to find me, I’ll be in the toy department at Target...singing. Bah?

We don't have to worry too much down here. Some people are not spending much money because of the carbon tax. We don't know how much she is going to sting us yet.
