@LadyGrace Yes, we can be excited about Jesus our Lord and Savior, but we can do that without being part of the Roman pagan holiday disguised as Christmas. Jesus was not born in December and no where is it written that we should celebrate the birth of Christ.
We celebrate His birth at Christmas. We celebrate his death and resurrection at Easter, (another pagan festival.) No where does Christ or God state that we should celebrate these things. Are we excited and/or happy that Christ came, shed His blood for the forgiveness of our sins, offered us eternal life, and rose from the dead and ascended to Heaven? Of course we are, but celebrating these holidays is not necessary. Besides, all of these holidays has become much to commercialized. Most people are concerned with what they are giving and getting and totally ignore what is supposed to be the true meaning.
