explain this to me, what does Christmas mean to yo

1911a1-fan
i often have found it confusing

Christmas is celebrated by many as the recognition of the birth of Christ, correct?

then what is the connection with traditional decorations, and Santa clause to christians?

my point is i see many angry posters here claiming it is about Jesus, but they still decorate their house in pagan fashion, and lie to their children about Santa clause, exchange gifts etc., i truly believe the birth of Christ was never meant to be celebrated in this fashion, and find it hypocritical for those that do in the name of Jesus


and before i get flammed for asking just look at christmas sales, it is not all non Christians making up billions in sales

    There are not any Christmas sales. Read what they say! The word Christmas is rarely found in ads or stores anymore. The next time you are in Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy, etc. check for yourself. Thay have taken the word Christmas out of the holiday. Seasons Greetings, Happy Holidays and such!
    Even Christmas trees are not called that, they are 6ft pine, 7 ft douglas fur, etc. Some call them holiday trees, others family trees. They have taken the word Christmas off of most everything. Even the cards and more generic.


    You can still buy Christmas cards, but you might have to look a little longer than expected.

    Christmas to me is an enjoyable time with my family,we put lighs on the outside and decorate the inside.Presents are given ,eat too much and generally enjoy myself on Christmas day and boxing day.Christ was not born on the 25th and also he was a jewish carpenter and also chitianity did come about untill two or three hundred years after he died so I cant regard it as a religouse festival.

    It is a day to focus on the gift of Christ to this world. It is a time to be with family and friends and celebrate together.

    Seems funny that so many like to "knock" Christmas lately. Seems to be the "in thing" for the "IN crowd." Same as God and moral values. After all,
    who needs devine help with the Govt holding your hands and careing for you in time of need. However dont bring this type of talk up to us that have survived the big depression and WW 2. Too many of you have been media brainwashed and coddled to think straight. By now if you dont understand Christmas it is much too late for you. But dont try to spoil it for me and mine.
