I'm sorry, I am a bit of a realist, but I must say my piece on Christmas. Christmas is a word derived from the words of Christ and Mass, from the gathering of masses on dec. 25th to celebrate the birth of the Christ Jesus, Christmas. Dec. 25th is really not the birth day of Jesus it was actually the day of celeberating the pagan sun god, which was adopted by the early church because they had no idea when Jesus was realy born, so the sun god's day became the day for the sun of god, funny old world we live in, I wonder what else the early church improvised on. I have heard Jesus was most likely born during the spring about 3 bce because of certain passages desseminated in the bible. Christmas has gone through many ups and downs in the past 2 thousand years, but today we have realy smeared the true meaning of christmas, we turned it into a commercial holiday because of the consumer society we live in. Celebrating Jesus's birth sounds like a great thing to do, but today it is desguised in order to circulte money for good economic health. But I guess its not necessarily a bad thing, today good economic health means happy, prosperous, people; so why be a Grinch and ruin the fun. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
