[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are not celebrating Christmas. You are celebrating winter, coziness, friendship, family, and even--in some ways--being an American. But you are not celebrating Christmas. Just as it is insulting for Christians or athiests to appropriate and misunderstand and mischaracterize the beliefs and traditions of other faiths, it is insulting for you to say that you are celebrating Christmas. Because Christmas really, truly is not about red and green and gifts to many of us. Please don't act like participating in those activities is celebrating a holy day.[/quote] Lighten up, Francis. Christmas, Easter and other holidays all have pagan roots that long pre-date the church. People can call them whatever the hell they want and it is not insulting in any way, even if it has the word Christ in it. Means nothing. Just like it doesn't mean anything insulting when Christians refer to Easter (from the pagan god ?ostre) or Thursday (pagan god Thor).[/quote]
