Christmas doesn't make any sense. It's a made up holiday. If there's one thing for certain, it ain't really Christian, for two main reasons: 1) Secular culture has hijacked the holiday 2) In the tradition of most religions, Early Christians created a holiday to coincide with the winter solstice. Keep Saturn in Christmas! That's right - the Christmas Tree is a great way to pay homage to the Roman God Saturn. Oops.
Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas. I just wish I didn't have to sit through a church service.
Will somebody please get me an ipod for Christmas?

But if I get you an ipod, all you are gonna do is buy 10 CD's in 2006. We can't have that, now can we?
You are so cynical, doesn't eveyone make up a holiday in some sense.
Our pastor actualy discussed the history of Christmas in his advent sermon last week. The purtains actual had laws against Christmas celebrations because I guess for most of its history it was still similar to its pagan roots and mostly a bunch of drukeness and sex.
So maybe Christians should just keep protesting it.
All in all I would like a ipod too.
