Why do people celebrate Christmas? Is it because they want to spend time with family and friends or is it to celebrate the birth of Jesus eventhough Jesus was never born on that day?

LuKahnLi 06-09-2005, 06:34 PM Why do people celebrate Christmas? Is it because they want to spend time with family and friends or is it to celebrate the birth of Jesus eventhough Jesus was never born on that day? I often consider this throughout the year. But when Christmas Eve comes, and the wine, Irish Coffee, Egg Nog, Beer and Gin starts flowing and the Turkey is smoked to perfection at my family's dinner......Then I don't care why. Alpha Male 06-09-2005, 06:40 PM Christmas to me means spending time with family and friends especially those I haven't seen in a long time. We know Jesus was never born that day, so we don't mention it. jatt the ripper 06-09-2005, 07:22 PM it;s just nice to spend time with your family and relaz i guess. The presents and the nice food you get is also a bonus. LuKahnLi 06-09-2005, 07:30 PM Its a warm up to New Years. When the REAL party is. LuKahnLi 06-09-2005, 07:32 PM Holy ****, I just reminded myself of how much New Years blew last year.....DAMN. Last New Years I had a fever of 103. My little cousin made me and my whole family sick. chito 06-09-2005, 09:47 PM To celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. And that's all i can say. SonnyG8R 06-09-2005, 10:23 PM To celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. And that's all i can say. Right on Chito. Christian haters eat the dingleberries off my hairy ass. Alpha Male 06-09-2005, 11:02 PM To celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. And that's all i can say. So although he wasn't born that day, you celebrate it anyway? Is that what you've been taught? Religion is a dogma. AgonYx0 06-09-2005, 11:06 PM Right on Chito. Christian haters eat the dingleberries off my hairy ass. hahahaha oh and i only do the christmas thing for my kids, they love the tree and the love the gifts other then that christmas sucks balls. jack_the_rippuh 06-09-2005, 11:20 PM Yo, Alpha can you get rid of the avatar...it's really starting to freak me out and I fear that if I look at it after eating, I might lose my lunch.

Tha Greatest 06-09-2005, 11:49 PM Jack that is the nastiest **** EVER LOL chito 06-10-2005, 12:53 AM So although he wasn't born that day, you celebrate it anyway? Is that what you've been taught? Religion is a dogma. How could I know? Im just a dumb college graduate from an state university here in our country. That's my answer to your question (and im not being sarcastic). SonnyG8R 06-10-2005, 01:17 AM The actual day of Jesus' birth is insignificant in the celebration of His birth, because we are not commanded to, nor are we commanded not to observe it. Those of us who do, choose to do it as a special remembrance of the "Gift of God". The Bible does not specify the exact date of Jesus' birth and there is no clear evidence of the exact date. This is likely due to the fact that in those ancient times people were more likely to observe an important peraons date of death rather than the birth. Furthermore, The evidence is against him being born 2005 years ago. It's more likely that he was born in 7AD. But what the **** does it matter. My daughter had a birthday a couple weeks ago but do to circumstance we are celebrating it this week. It doesn't make the celebration any less special. And sure it is also a great day to spend time with family. chito 06-10-2005, 05:05 AM The actual day of Jesus' birth is insignificant in the celebration of His birth, because we are not commanded to, nor are we commanded not to observe it.
