How do you feel about Christmas? Love it? Hate it?

Do you wish Christmas would come and go quickly or do you look forward to it with great enthusiasm? Do you believe Christmas has lost its meaning given all the materialistic connotations associated with it or does it still have a special place in your heart?

Hi Rainbow. I hate Xmas for the pagan festival that it is. It is steeped in paganism. It has nothing to do with Christianity. Christ never commanded to celebrate his birth (which occurred no where near the time that corresponds with December) He did say to celebrate his death, because then he had accomplished his Father's will and purpose as a Saviour for mankind. In the middle ages, an emperor of Rome embraced Christianity and became the first Pope. He ordered that the Feast of Saturnalia (Sun worship) that was held on the 25th of December, be adopted to celebrate the birth of Christ. This information and more can be found in any good encyclopedia. It has even been printed in the media from time to time. BUT SO-CALLED CHRISTIANS STILL CELEBRATE IT. The true God views this pagan celebration as spiritually filthy, disgusting and Satanic. (An anagram of Santa is, yes,...SATAN. Christamas is yet another of Satan devious and wicked ruses to draw people away from true worship. Yes, I am a Christian and I love the TRUE God. That's why I hate Christmas. Do loving families and friends really need a pagan celebration to get together?.......Poppy
