What is the point in Christmas and why do so many people celibate it?

[MrGSpotHer]

What is the meaning in this tradition is it even a good time, when so many people suffer the worst end of depression is it even worth it.

You do realize no one is forcing you to celebrate Christmas. Or are they?

[MrGSpotHer]

Well if I didn't partake in the sharing of presents and such I'd be called a Grinch and I was forced to as a child I hated it so much

[douride2]

I know how you feel my mother forced me to go to church till I rebelled then she kind of disowned me.

It gets us through the cold wet dark winters

[MrGSpotHer]

For me it's some top shelf beers n cigars I find it depressing

[Guy13]

"Christ in Christmas" "Merry Christmas is about the birth of savior and Lord Jesus the Christ". Those are the only two Christian standbys that I can think of off the top of my head.

[MrGSpotHer]

Isn't it the same as the old pagan and devil worship just dressed up all nice so people still do the rituals

[Guy13]

I know it is not the first half of the sentence but I am not clear on the second half of the sentence or the Macro intention. What's the point and clarify please.

[MrGSpotHer]

Is it not the same as the satanic rituals they are the same dates and very similar

[Guy13]

Satan is the great imitator, therefore, first God, Creator and then Satan the mimicker

This is what it’s all about, though sadly it seems most people have forgotten…

I have never celebrated it. It is meaningless to me.

[MrGSpotHer]

Because you are from a different religion or place that don't celebrate it?
