| Heavenly_King said: If you are not CHRISTians, nor Catholic, then you are celebrating something else my friend. Do you have a clue why CHRIST is in the word CHRISTmas?? It is because Christmas is about celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. And people (mostly kids) receive presents because it is a representation of the gifts baby Jesus received in Bethlehem. I dont mean to begin a religious debate, so if you are a non religious person just continue to do what you enjoy. |
We're Muslim and as such I believe we should honor and respect all prophets. I've also always lived in US and grown up in a Christian family as are most of my wife and my family. It would be nearly impossible to not celebrate the Christian holidays.
So, no, we don't go to church or anything like that. We don't call Jesus a god or son of anything beyond Mary. But we do celebrate the days in the commercial manner they have been turned in to as well as have celebrations for the Eids.
I also agree that I would rather not turn this into a religious discussion. Trust me, I know more about all major religions that you might think.
