Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Sun Dec 26 19:45:38 2004, in response to Re: No, It's the Liberal Secularists, posted by BMTLines on Sun Dec 26 19:28:43 2004. That's exactly my point. It's the "secular" Christmas that is "so" important, not the religious one. Anyone not practicing Christmas has to think it's an "important" Christian holiday, when in fact, many of the others are more important.As I stated before, the Christmas the USA celebrates is not the "real" Christmas. It was invented by American business at the early part of this century. Most businesses declare whether they had a good year or a bad year by how the Christmas season went. Although in Europe the "American" Christmas has snuck in too, it is much less of a fuss than it is here. When my mother immigrated to this country from Europe in the 50's, they held none of the "Christmas" we have now. They exchanged gifts on Saint Nicholas day (which is Dec 5th), and Christmas was nothing more than "go to church for an hour" type of day. |
