Why do you celebrate Christmas??

[Corgi]

Not if you give them a hug and a candy cane.

And then get robbed. Some guy just stole my step-dad's phone a few days ago at the market.

Pretty sure if YOU were poor on Christmas and u saw others having a good time i'm pretty sure u would act the same way, And not all poor people are jerks more times then not u see the rich person acting like the jerk.

Hey, man, I know why they're jerks. I'm not judging them. Kinda.

See a candy cane is a multi purpose tool. It can either be a treat or a shank. If your step dad would've had a candy cane he would still have a phone.

Peter Parker is Spider-Man ._. Jesus and Spider-Man have a lot in common. They are both fictional characters in a story with superhuman powers.

Doesn't matter, your opinion about him can't move him ...

Jesus is the son of God tho

Be irate

I don't. I have no religious interests and Jesus wasn't born on Christmas anyway, so there's no spiritual reason for me to celebrate it.

The fact that I've lived in a Jehovah's Witness household for for about the past 11 years of my life and only receiving presents two of the 15(After this Christmas, it'll be 16) Xmasses that I've been alive for has caused me to not have an interest in Xmas as a whole. I only care about the days off from school.

That's legit. What's a Jehovah's Witness, though? I never get a serious answer when I ask.

 

[Sky99]

Damn :/

and it seems you never will.

It's kind of like christianity but is a lot stricter. Like they believe that it's idolization to get presents on your birthday, and other events, so usually theres no gift giving. Basically the rules are centered around the strict belief of judgment day when only the Jehovah's Witnesses will be risen from there graves and taken away to gods kingdom.Which makes them feel justified to go to peoples door steps saturday morning to save souls because only 144,000 will make it to the kingdom of heaven.

I was one for like a month when I was like 7 I think, my mom was trying a bunch of religions and me and my little sister had to tag along through all of them...

Jesus is the alpha and omega, the son of God, he owns your life


Stay irate

Actually December 25th originated as a pagan holiday the winter solstice, which was reformed by Ancient Rome as Saturnalia. It was a holiday of lawlessness where people can be happy, drunk, merry. They sing naked in the streets, have fights, and even rape, all in the consent of the Empire. This holiday was celebration to the birth of the sun god in Northern parts of Europe where it was called Yule, and in Rome the rebirth of the Sun as the god Saturn. In 350AD the pope integrated this holiday as Christmas and declared Jesus' birthday on December 25th. In actual fact, following history, Jesus would've been born sometime in September, some even say February. The Christmas tree was from a pagan ritual of Yule, that was also integrated. It was to give hope that after winter, harvest will begin again. The tree was decorated, and put comfortably in their homes as a reminder. The gift giving was originated for the most despised people of the Roman empire to give tribute to the emperor, which then became localized to every family. Saint Nicholas was a bishop that was born in Turkey and became a small cult sect by the celtics, Germanians and later the Dutch, which then became popularized a few novelists and illustrator from 1822 to 1886, and then finally put in everyone's mind as a Coca Cola campaign in 1920 with his iconic red and white coat and hat.

wow look who can copy and past!
or did you just hand type this from that post on cheeseburger.memebase?

of coarse, christmas originated from this pagan holiday
so yes christmas is derived from the pagan holidays but then, christians converted the pagans and changed the holiday by combining it with its original traditions and christian ideals making december 25 the day we celebrate christmas, though we don't know his actual birthday
christmas is indeed a christian holiday

btw you shouldn't just copy anything you see
germanians? really?

 

[EnDash]

because presents.

 

[Currahee]

Most pple here are either atheists or agnosts and yet such pple celebrate christmas.

Isn't christmas for christians(the birth of Jesus christ), why do a non christian celebrate christmas??


P.S: keep this thread clean and no flaming of anybody's religion

Originally the celebration now called christmas was actually the winter solstice a time to sacrifice to the gods and party then the christian church moved jesus supposed birthday was moved to coincide with the winter solstice to make the take over of the christian faith more palatable for pagans. so really christians shouldn't celebrate it pagans should.

And now days Christmas is so commercialized it's lost all meaning

The food

 

[Klaroline]

Because of the food and presents duh

 

[Kurome]

I have always celebrated it with my family, its always been one of those days that i have the best memories with my family, honestly it isn't even about the awesome gifts i get its more about how i can sit down with my family for a whole day laughing, eating together, sharing memories, having a couple drinks with my old man and just relaxing. Christmas in my house is about the quality time u spend as a family.

Exactly this ^^ It's about atmosphere, it's about being together...this may not be about jesus for everyone, but it's the most beautiful time of the year for me...

 

[Kishi Uzumaki]

It's an holiday in my country so just enjoyed the holiday .

 

[Flakez]

I don't celebrate it, but I still get presents.
