Roll call for people lurking Volnation during unwanted family gatherings

Since my MIL is still in Atlanta and we are near Orlando, the parts of the family that are here are fine. I would have gotten to Vol Nation a LONG time ago if she had been here!

Actually christmas is a pagan tradition, the Bible does not direct us to celebrate Jesus' birth day. That's the plain truth! See Leviticus 23:5-43, these are the Holy Days that reveal God's plan for mankind. :hi:

I agree with your post's intent and salute you for it.
Now, just a few tidbits. If I recall right, Jesus was born in March, not December. Or thereabouts. hard to say with the mess of the Julian and Georgian calendars What we call Christmas today is actually a pagan holiday.Something to do with one of the solstices and polytheistic worship or festivals. I dimly recall something about trees being used in association with pagan worship as well. Jeremiah 10:1-10

But the intent of Christmas as envisioned by the early church, in addition to meshing and redefining pagan rites to christian sentiments was make it a true time of rejoicing. I think this was wonderful and a shame it's mostly lost these days due to greed generated by commercialism. But for those who strive to make it mean what it used to, hallelujah!

You are both very close about Christmas being a pagan Holiday. There was a pagan holiday (saturnalia).christians did not want to participate, but wanted their own celebration. They chose to celebrate Christ birth with Christmas even though His birth is thought to have happen in the spring

Now that things have settled, I gave myself a x-mas pick me up(stress relief). I rewatched Vols/USCe game again, then the last 5 min of the Iron bowl.
