Christ went out of Christmas when commercialism took over the holiday/time of year.<BR/><BR/>Not only that, but if you look at other Christian type churches, there are some notables that believe Christ was born on Jan. 6 (Greek Orthodox) and April 6 (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) so somewhere along the way, some marketing wack-job got to say that Christmas is in December (let's start with Ceasar Augustus and go from there.)<BR/><BR/>Good posting, by the way.<BR/><BR/>JanetJanet Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01396294382570650966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6524377.post-1134327596900478732005-12-11T13:59:00.000-05:002005-12-11T13:59:00.000-05:00I am with you on this. I even wrote a post about i...I am with you on this. I even wrote a post about it yesterday. It isn't just about Christmas, and I think that it is honestly selfish and inconsiderate to think so. Seriously... Does it really matter that much to call it the holidays? Does it make it any less Christmas for anyone that believes in that?? I just don't understand why these people have such a hard time be inclusive and considerate. In fact, it makes me want to not celebrate Christmas myself. Is it really that big of a deal?!? It is more about xbox and money now anyways... If you are going to preach about the meaning of a phrase and cling to how much you NEED to say it, then why not be truthful to what the holiday ACTUALLY means to you and other people who celebrate it; and take back the xbox and focus on family and togetherness! That is what the holidays AND Christmas are supposed to be about, right?<BR/><BR/>Sorry to rant, but I just can't stand all of this hypocritical bullshit anymore!<BR/><BR/>HAPPY FUCKING HOLIDAYS!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6524377.post-1134231439545799592005-12-10T11:17:00.000-05:002005-12-10T11:17:00.000-05:00The complaint that we are taking "Christ" out of "...The complaint that we are taking "Christ" out of "Christmas" is such a cop out. Just look around us. We took Christ out of it YEARS ago.
