You do realize that your Christmas message is offensive to non-Christians and non-Canadians, don't you? What a shame you decided to exclude others.

If I had my way I would move the commercialized part of Christmas (ie. the Santa Claus/gift giving/decorated pine trees parts that have nothing to do with religion) to New Years and make it open to all people, not just Christians. Then the Christians could celebrate the birth of Jesus in a less commercialized way.

You could do it like the Dutch do it - Dec 5-6th is when Sinterklaas leaves the kids presents, and Christmas itself is more of a family gathering holliday - sort of like our Thanksgiving.

Christmas trees may have started as a pagan symbol, but they are Christian too - the green tree in winter is symbolic of everlasting life, which is what Christians believe Jesus brought us.

My family has always kept Christmas eve quite religious, with the reading of the story of Jesus' birth from the Bible and singing the more religious carols as a family. Christmas day itself then becomes the more gift-centered day.

Commercialism is encroaching on Christmas more and more though.
As far as retail is concerned Christmas season starts right after Sinterklaas leaves the country.

A symbol means whatever those using it want it to mean.
There are plenty of countries where Christians are a small minority but people are still having fun celebrating Christmas, trees included.
Japan for example.

Is it a little ironic that countries without a christian heritage are celebrating Christmas when western countries that have their culture and heritage based in Christianity are trying to get rid of it?

Hey, Gillianren, have you seen The Wrestler? If you did, what did you think of it?

I'm getting a message when I try to log into photobucket :

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /albums/bb184/ginniegatrit/ on this server.

So all my links are broken. They didn't send me any email about this or anything, I don't know what's going on. Anyone else have this problem?

After reading this I tried to access lionking's Photobucket pictures she posted on another thread and couldn't. It was working fine yesterday so the problem appears to be on their end.
