The best parts of Christmas...

Debate Information

...have nothing to do with Christ. I submit Santa Claus, Christmas music traditions (Silver Bells, White Christmas, Sleigh ride, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, etc.), Christmas trees, mistletoe, Christmas meals, spending time with family, etc as examples of Christmas traditions which have no direct basis in Christianity or Christ. 

Merry Christmas!

    *****.for all intents and purposes, it's not an Atheist's holiday

    So only Christians can stuff themselves with food and booze get pressies and watch loads of TV , unless you think Christians spend their time praying and thinking about Jesus at Christmas but I bet you do think this being the bigot and hypocrite you are

    Honestly, for me the only thing that makes Christmas stand out is the traditional Christmas break. I can spend some time to organise my thought and to work on the things that interest me, sitting in my comfortable room and sipping coffee. And to travel some, of course.

    Never understood the point of celebrating something yearly. Every day should be a celebration, otherwise you are living your life wrong.

    I am an atheist, but I celebrate Christmas nonetheless because it is about celebrating your friends and family, which I think is a very important thing, I do not pray or think about Jesus on Christmas Day, so I do not remember the original meaning of Christmas. I subscribe to the more modern belief of a commercial Christmas as opposed to a religious one.

    @SkepticalOne ; The Christmas Holiday is what you make it...for all intents and purposes, it's not an Atheist's holiday. It's a Day set aside to celebrate the birth of our Messiah, Messiah for those who believe, Messiah who left Eternity some 2019-yrs ago and entered time to define God to mankind (John 14:9), to do battle with the Devil (1 John 3:8) and ultimately provide mankind with the offer of redemption by grace through faith in Jesus as Lord (John 3:16). It was the birth of Jesus-God into the realm of Time that saved a lost and dying humanity from hopelessness in Hell (2 Corinthians 5:21). Without the first-Advent of Messiah, mankind had no hope of life in Eternity but through His faithfulness and love, mankind can find forgiveness of sin and life in Eternity with God the Father by trusting in Jesus Christ as the God who died to pay our sin-debt and the God who was resurrected for our justification (Romans 10:9-10).  Merry Christ-mas and thank you Heavenly Father for your unspeakable Gift of Jesus Christ my Lord and the precious Holy Spirit!

    I understand St. Francis of Assisi came up with the Nativity story as a way to explain the birth of Jesus. I think it was about 300AD. The original "fake news"?
