The Christmas that we celebrate in the U.S. is Santa Claus, Jingle Bells, Rudolph, and gift-giving, a big dinner and football. Yes, the celebration of the nativity coincides with that, but it's not the major event. If you believe otherwise, that's fine, but let's not kid ourselves that those folks in line at Toys R Us/Crate n Barrel/WalMart are there because of baby jesus.Sooo...why not spend the day in your house of worship if you believe that 'tis the season is the prayer season. There you can be surrounded by all the magi scenes, crosses and other symbols that you place with the holiday, in their rightful and proper place. I really can't understand why spiritual people need to be so expansive about their beliefs. Nobody is stopping anyone from celebrating a holy day instead of a holiday. I fail to see why putting the magi scene on the lawn of the town hall makes a spiritual person's holiday more spiritual. After all, your god doesn't want you to be a PITA about it. Your pal, Fred PS Not only is xmas a borrowed pagan fest, easter is as well. |
