Now first off: I don't have a problem with people celebrating Christ's birth on Christmas or any day of the year. Celebrate it every day if you like. I'm totally with you. And if this season gets people thinking about spiritual things, that's great.
But does it have to be a moral obligation to celebrate on this day? Would Jesus actually care about these "Christian" holidays that actually didn't exist until many generations after his time with us? Is Christianity really about celebrating holidays?
I think I can confidently say that the answer to all these above questions is "No".
The fact is, this holiday season means different things to all of us, but it is first and foremost a time of peace, so let's just be chill! Keep the Chill in Christmas!
May all of us, be we Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Pagan, Agnostic, or Atheist find peace in this holiday season.
And without further ado, here's a cheerful picture to get us all in the mood:
