[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Anonymous wrote: A creche. The rest of what you describe is secular nonsense and is not Christmas at all. What a silly thing to say when the whole point of this thread is that everybody's idea of Christmas is subjective. If your family ate Chinese every year on Christmas Eve but at no other time, you might associate Chinese food with Christmas even if it's not "Christmas" to most people.[/quote] The word Christmas originated as a compound meaning "Christ's Mass." Reindeer, bells and all of the other nonsense have nothing to do with Christmas. The statement isn't silly at all.[/quote] Christmas was originally a pagan holiday. The early Christians, being the consummate hucksters that they were, jumped on board, and used it to sell their product to the masses. Now they're upset that all the other cheap salesmen are doing the same. "This is my corner! Find your own!" Whatever.[/quote]
