Soon be Christmas! Is it about Jesus or Santa? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 92/100. loneraver (139)3 weeks ago

I just cant believe it is like nearly Christmas already! It only seems like yesterday i was sat with family eating Christmas dinner and its nearly here again! Is anyone ready for Christmas yet or do you not bare thinking about it? It does seem that the actual point of Christmas has been lot amongst the money grabbing, prezzy selling people doesnt it! I mean if you was to ask a child what Christmas was about, presents and Santa Would come first and Jesus would likely come nearer to last! At least the primary/elementary schools are still doing nativity plays but even they have seemed to miss the point a bit. Sorry im ranting now haha! What do people think? And are you prepared for Christmas? Tell us your thoughts.

Definitely it's about Jesus because no material things or anybody else could ever surpass the greatness of offering His life for the sinners like we are. Reality is, we grew up taught and experiencing about Santa, presents and parties everytime the Christmas season approaches that's why most of the people specifically the children thinks of Jesus as a secondary reason for the season. Which definitely should be the other way around. As of now, I haven't prepared for the Christmas celebrations but I will soon be. Just need to fix some things up by now.

That is the trouble people have become too materialistic and then in turn their kids and so on and so forth.... Its a shame as i think maybe we would have more faith if we were brought up believing. Thanks for your response.

Lol, well they wont be doing the nativity in some schools here
At the primary school my youngest son attended, it was taken off the festive menu in 1995 when some Muslim parents objected to it,

But I know what you are saying, Santa would come first for more children than jesus most likely.
Its gone crazy, the shops have xmas stuff in September, the xmas toys ads on the telly in October,
Only last night I saw a PRE CHRISTMAS TOY SALE

Give me a break, I cant stand it anymore.

It is obviously about both. While it does start to as a religious holiday it has grown into a secular holiday that even non-Christians celebrate. You really cannot deny either one way of celebrating the Christmas season.

I do think a lot of people go overboard with the presents and decorations though.

happy


myLot reputation of 92/100. loneraver (139)  3 weeks ago

Its a shame its become all about the money though, but the good thing is that it seems to bring family together.

Santa is just Christmas commercialized, just like the Easter Bunny is Easter commercialized.

Jesus is the reason for the season.


myLot reputation of 77/100. vonmac (1733)  3 weeks ago

Thats so poetic,

Would it be treason, if I said Jesus wasnt the reasonm for either season.
I know it would be wrong, but treason rhymes with season and reason

Not ready for Christmas yet but hope to be soon, just noticed a neighbour has put on the lights. Kids may not understand that Christmas is about Jesus yet but with continuous teaching and maturity, they will know


myLot reputation of 97/100. agv0419 (2071)  3 weeks ago

Yes it seems like yesterday when we celebrated Christmas I can't believe how past the days go by. Some people doesn't happy if they don't have money during Christmas but for me it doesn't important as long as I'm with my family and we are all together even if we don't have food. Christmas is about Jesus we should not forget it.


myLot reputation of 92/100. loneraver (139)  3 weeks ago

we have never been very well off so its never been about the money for us but i think thats why we appreciate it more.

Hi loneraver,

Of course it is about Jesus Christ!happy It's his date of birth! Well not exactly his date of birth but, it is the main reason of the celebration. While Santa Claus is an added bonus to make kids see how fun and beautiful it is to celebrate Christmas. wub


myLot reputation of 92/100. loneraver (139)  3 weeks ago

Trouble is where i live if people are quite well off they spoil their kids and kinda defeat the object as we should be teaching them that its more about giving aswell.

We each have a spiritual nature, as did the jewish preacher Jesus. Any other thought is just a religious illusion.


myLot reputation of 92/100. loneraver (139)  3 weeks ago

some people dont seem to be in touch with their spiritual side though.

Definitely it's about Jesus. It's the celebration of the birth of Jesus.Santa is just a symbol for the gift giving.


myLot reputation of 92/100. loneraver (139)  3 weeks ago
