The Value Of Christmas

The meaning of Christmas In our multi-religious world and lack of Christian faith I no longer call Christmas by its name but prefer to call the festive season "The festivities." The meaning of "Christmas" was to celebrate the birth of Jesus but commerce has highjacked the season we are pressured into buying presents for family and friends. The JUL is a good word that was celebrated long before Jesus was born it is on the day the sun turns; spring will soon arrive. The Jews have their day, so has the Muslims we are not suggesting they should change this. We in the west should not be ashamed of our cultural heritage where our Christian faith places a big part.
