Good Afternoon Everyone,
It's been a while since I've participated in a Thread on this Forum. I was reading a lot of what was going on, but felt it better to keep my opinions to myself.
Well, I've noticed a lot on religion and beliefs of God and such, so it got me wondering, what is your belief of the upcoming holiday of Christmas?
For me (I am a Christian), I believe that Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Christ. I'm not big into the whole gift thing, for me it's more about remembering what Christ did for us and how he wants us to live our lives. I was in the military for a while, so this time of year always brings me back to the time spent away from my family and what I've seen in the world as to how others are treated. We are truly lucky to have the freedom to express our views without any prosecution.
I'm not trying to get a whole God vs. Non-God thing started here, I just would like to see how others perceive the holiday.
One other thing, what would you like for Christmas???????
Thanks and Merry Christmas,
Mark
