Christmas is a time of celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.  We make it about shopping, parties, gifts and momentary happiness.  In truth, the happy feeling we have during the Christmas season, should be with us all the time, all year long.  We tend to forget that without Jesus Christ, there would be no "season".

♡I live in Japan and some of the words we use for "father" are "otousan" お父さん, "papa", "chichi" 父, "youfu" 養父  for foster/adoptive father. For "dad or daddy" the word "papa" is usually used. Hope this helps! Good luck learning Japanese. Gambate ne!♡

Don't assume that everyone has lost the meaning of Christmas. There are millions of families who give their time and money to those who are less fortunate during this time of the year.\n\nThat's the real meaning of Christmas.

To the best of my understanding, it means that a man who deliberately, and consistently causes chaos within his family would not have any family or inheritance for his old age. The second part talks about people who act like there are no consequences for their actions(the fool says in his heart, 'there is no God'). They would be made servants to people who are wise in heart.

Perhaps they realize that the secular Christmas is really the more meaningful one, even if they don't want to admit it.\n\nReligious Christmas:\n1) The birthday of a guy who supposedly lived long ago (even though it wasn't his birthday)\n\nSecular Christmas:\n1) Peace on Earth\n2) Goodwill towards Men\n3) Life continuing through the winter (pagans also promoted this)\n4) Spending time with family\n5) Remembering those less fortunate\n6) Enjoying the presence (pardon the pun) of children.\n7) A nice wrap-up for the year\n8) Giving gifts to people to let them know you care about them\n9) A time of good food and good drink in otherwise dismal weather

Christmas is about the birth of CHRIST.  without Christ, there IS NO Christmas.  The holiday has gotten out of hand.  Christmas is a celebratory holiday that we celebrate BECAUSE Christ was born - it's as simple as that - no Christ, no Christmas - It is a religious holiday, not a federal, made-up holiday.

My dad is an atheist (unfortunately) and he celebrates Christmas because he says it is more commercial than religious these days...

I'm not sure what your asking. Jesus language?\n\nJesus Father is Jehova. = 1st in The Godhead.\nJesus is The Son of God = 2nd in the Trintiy.\nThe Holy Spirit = "Comfortor" = 3rd in the Trinity.\n\nHope this helps.

Christmas has branched out from a religious celbration to a secular holiday celbrating winter.  I bet most of the xmas songs sing about Santa and not Jesus.

Wow..someone is really missing the whole point of christmas. Thats really sad Cynthia K if you dont know that the whole idea of santa claus was based on a man who really existed. Christmas is about the birth of jesus, and is about others being kind and warm to each other and showing how much they love each other. It was based on Saint Nicholas (dutch), who gave presents to poor children. The custom of giving gifts on a special day in winter was around before christianity came to be.  The first Dutch settlers who came to America had a figure of Saint Nicholas on the front of their ship. After christianity was well established, Saint Nicholas became a customary symbol among christians for christmas. The Dutch celebrated the feast day on December 6th and said Saint Nicholas visited their homes the night before leaving gifts. In time, English settlers adopted the legends and festivities associated with Saint Nicholas. English-speaking children spoke the Dutch name for the saint, Sinterklaas, quickly and excitedly so that it sounded like Santy Claus or Santa Claus.

i have never heard that but i do not believe the jehovah witness ways either.. i have listened to them before and they just take the scripture and interrupt it the way they want...i do not think there si anything with honoring our father or our mother.. one of the 10 commandments was to honor our father and our mother.. as far as christmas i think that it is just to put more joy in our childs life.. i also believe it teaches them to give and i do believe they should know the true meaning of christmas...but giving gifts just shows love for people.. i think sometimes some may take it to far and not have the lord in mind.. i  was raised baptist and i had christmas but we also had scripts at church and i remember very happy times at church functions.. i married a man that did not believe in chirstmas trees, and he was really a very mean , abusive man.. i now love christmas and trees and lights.. my children now enjoy christmas and let there children have what they did not have.. and joyous memories of your childhood i think is very important...i do not think these holidays are something satan created at all.. remember in the bible when jesus was born all the shepherds and people that came with gifts for the baby jesus even in the manger in a barn...i do not like halloween myself and i think it is a dangerous night any more.. i do not celebrate witches or anything of that sort...i hope this has helped you some... i know of some churches that will not even talk to the jehovah witness people...

We celebrate Christmas and include both Santa and Jesus. We have always had a star on top our tree to represent the Star of Bethlehem. We have a nativity set that is the first item set up and the last one taken down for Christmas. We discuss the true meaning of Christmas throughout the season, but we still let our daughter, and now our grand-daughter enjoy Santa Claus. We told our daughter and now our grand-daughter that Santa brings gifts just as the 3 Wise Men brought gifts to Jesus. On Christmas Eve we always read the First Christmas and also Twas The Night Before Christmas. We celebrate a combination the two, making sure the true meaning of Christmas in always present in our home and in our hearts. We NEVER skip Thanksgiving! We always make sure we are thankful for each and every blessing we receive. Each night before bed we always talk about our blessings for the day. We raised our daughter and she is raising her daughter to know that we receive little gifts from the Lord each day........Birds singing, Rainbows, Laughing Children, Hugs and Kisses from the ones we love, Beautiful flowers, etc. We each tell at least one "special gift" that we received each day. It helps us to remember the little things and makes each day a gift.
