ToGiveDivine -> RE: Christmas; Hate It or Love It? (12/4/2006 7:19:02 AM)

Technically, December isn't Jesus' birth month (the shepards were in the fields with their flocks at the time He was born - it's winter in December in Israel - more in line with the Southern U.S. States) - it was a convenient place to put a holiday. But, it is a time to reflect on His message - Peace on Earth, Goodwill Towards Men (yes, that's the old vernacular "Men" includes everyone - don't get caught up in PC, it's the message that matters) The world would be a better place if we followed His example more - love thy neighbor, don't judge others, peace be to all, do what is right, etc. So yes, I love Christmas, but I do hate the commercialism and I won't decorate until after Thanksgiving is over.
