What do you think?

I'm sure we have been over this many times. I just want a yes or no and a reason why. I guess more specifically the question is, should a christian celebrate Christmas with all the pagan traditions attached to it?

[John81]

I don't think it's so much of a yes/no question. It would seem whether a Christian does or doesn't celebrate Christmas and the manner in which they choose to celebrate Christmas if they do is between them and God.

Scripture points out that various days really mean nothing and we shouldn't be judging one another or feeling superior or inferior because of them. There are many ways to celebrate Christmas, some obviously unchristian, but many other ways that Christians can celebrate in good faith.

yes, Even though We can celebrate anytime of the year, Christmas is actually time we can be with the family : http://www.physorg.com/news148657008.html

Plus, the gift of giving help people understand better about Christ. And other things too. Like showing compassion and love toward one another by spending time with each other. Most workforce will not let people off all at the same time so it is kinda hard to make time for family and friends to join together during other time of the year. And with the spirit of Christmas (you know that jolly, happy, warm-fuzzy feeling ), they are more likely to hear about the Birth of Jesus and how he died for us.

Of course, Christmas also the most depressing time for some people, and they need someone to help them through it. If they are lost, they need someone to tell them about Christ. If they are just depressed because they think no one cares about them during Christmas (or lost a loved one... or bad experience) They still need someone.

But like John said, it is between you and the Lord.

I have Jehovah Witness friend who doesn't celebrate Christmas. So I don't bother her about it.
