Sounds pretty ridiculous. Shouldn’t you be giving money to the church or someone in need instead of satisfying the greed of all those close to you? And why do you chop down a living tree (that gives much benefit to our eco-system)? How exactly does this have anything to do with the baby Jesus? All retarded, unless you accept you’re celebrating Yule instead of Christmas.
Sorry for reporting this, but 80% of the Christians have ADD and didn’t read where I corrected the word death to birth before any of them posted.
I agree with you, Christmas is to celebrate Christ, not to commemerate a fat man in red breaking in you house once a year and eatting your food and leaving crap that breaks in a week and candy that is old, and getting deer shit on your roof, not to mention chipping the paint and bending the tin. It is to widely commercialized. I love Jesus and I feel we should celebrate him. Oh and this Chistmas Spirit is bullshit man, "It’s Jesus birthday", so what are you saying hell with everyone the rest of the year and don’t care about living for Christ ntil its his birthday thenyou go spend more then any decent man makes, take out a morgage, and buy thousands in gifts? Why not give a little throughout the year and quit hogging it. A real Christian will agree with me 100 percent. And what is it with the Xmas crap? WHERE THE HELL DOES X COME INTO PLAY WITH JESUS??? IT IS JESUS NOT MALCOM FRIGGIN X!!! I am tired of people trying to get rich off of Jesus. Didn’t he do enough for you when he came and was beaten, flogged, whipped, and nailed to the tree so you can get away with looking at porno and lusting for another woman, and that you shall not perish but have eternal life? I guess not. Go in Christ brother.
How christmas is celebrate in Gwermany?
Please write at list 1 paragraph in enlish.
The nuclear family gathers on Dec. 24 and has some sort of meal (very often fish). We put the presents under the christmas tree, around sundown, then we sing songs and unpack the gifts. We don’t have santa claus (although it has swapped over from the us), but a "Christkind," (either an angel or, really, a kid jesus, but I am not really sure…embarassingly). If kids are around, they have to wait outside the room until the "christkind" rings a bell, that means he was there and they can now unpack the gifts.
On Dec. 25 there is usually another gathering of family and friends, with a larger meal.
Beause its such a big part of our life. without it most of us would not even be alive.
every day should be a national holiday celebrating sex
How would the Holy Week, and then Easter usually be celebrated ?
Easter:
Mass is held on the eve to mark the END of 55 days of fasting during which Copts follow a vegan diet (some may fast more vigorously). Copts spend their Easter going to church, visiting relatives and sometimes having a picnic.
Holy (Paskha) Week:
There are special services throughout the week, especially for Palm Sunday and Good Friday.
The celebration starts seven days prior to Easter but the main service takes place on Saturday evening, and lasts until early hours of the following day. The services consist of psalm reading, hymn singing, and burning of incense. During the ceremony all the lights are switched off, only to be turned on again in the moment symbolizing the Resurrection.
After the service, people go home to break their fast and savor their first meat dishes after almost two month of abstinence.There are about 210 fasting days in Coptic calendar.

I remember Jesus stated to remember his death while he sat down in the table with the disciples but that was it!
What is your opinion?
I need a answer not a question.
I am still not getting an answer.
Where in the bible does it state that we should celebrate Jesus birth? nowhere
No where in the Bible does it say that we are to remember Christ birth. Only His death.
The Christmas celebration does not please God in any way.
We are to please God and live for Him every day, THAT is our reasonable service.
Not celebrating a holiday that has nothing to do with Him other than in name.
my mother and i have been having this argument weither to have it on christmas eve or christmas day. which day do you celebrate it? or which way is the correct traditional way to?
Both — because we host European students and THEY celebrate on the 24th.
So, we have a "sit down" fancy dinner on Christmas Eve with their traditional foods. Then we open any gifts from Europe and their family that night, plus our stockings.
On Christmas morning, we open our "American" presents and then have a more relaxed Christmas dinner around the tree.
There is no RIGHT or WRONG answer — compromise! Why ruin Christmas with such a silly argument?
Other than the Hispanic "Day of the Dead" and the Celtic Samhein, do any other countries/cultures celebrate a holiday similar to Halloween? I am collecting information for my 6th grade class’s October research project. I am looking specifically for Asian cultures, or African cultures, but any and all responses are welcomed. Also, any websites that might help.
I found this very interesting. Many people to not realize how far back "Halloween" goes…
The writer J. Garnier suggests that celebrations of suffering and death can be traced back to the ancient destruction of all of his (Satan’s) human followers, as well as the hybrid sons of fallen angels, at the time of the Flood. Cultures the world over have festivals for the dead, “held by all on or about the very day on which, according to the Mosaic account, the Deluge took place, viz., the seventeenth day of the second month—the month nearly corresponding with our November.”—The Worship of the Dead, by J. Garnier
