		<description>True. And I would say that neither one is necessarily a bad thing.

		<description>I tend to agree with you (looking at my wording in the post, not sure if I said that right, but I do).

I think I just want to challenge Christians to realize that trying to celebrate the &quot;sacredness&quot; of Christmas through use of wintery scenes, ribbons, and Christmas trees is not going to have much impact.  The Christmas of Christ and the Christmas of presents and nostalgia are two entirely separate things.

		<description>I have absolutely no problem with this guy&#039;s view of Christmas. It&#039;s pretty much like my own except for that he values the holiday more than I do.
