Why should you not celebrate Christmas? We all know the real reason we celebrate Christmas and we all do so in our own ways.I for one will never stop celebrating Christmas no matter the reason.It's a great time of the year no matter weather  you give gifts or not.You already give gifts to people whenever you give of yourself, your time, your love, giving joy or happiness to others is a gift as well. Look people, don't become SCROOGES just because of the way others feel, DO what you think is best for you and your family, Don't rush, slow down, be happy, there is still a lot to be happy for, and for those, be happy. Give a smile Be happy, Shake hands with someone you don't know and TELL THEM,   MERRY CHRISTMAS. iF YOU FEEL YOU DO NOT WANT TO SHAKE HANDS THEN JUST GREET THEM WITH A SMILE AND TELL THEM MERRY CHRISTMAS.  Don't be afraid, spread good cheer, and be happy, even when it's hard to be happy. Some times our own problems are not as bad as someone else's, so do what you can and pay it forward.DO NOT GIVE UP ON US - BE POSITIVE-- STAY CLEAR OF DOOMSDAY NAYSAYERS, IT WILL BRING YOU DOWN AND YOU WON'T THINK CLEAR AT ALL.All those who really know our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST ALREADY KNOWS TO BE OF GOOD CHEER AND TO PASS IT ON. We are not bound to give gifts if we have not, there is plenty of other ways to give. If you give up on HOPE, IT IS YOU WHO WILL BE WITHOUT, Be of good cheer my friends and MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF YOU! Diane Wait just a darn. Why should you not celebrate Christmas?

Take away the toys,games, all the high end gifts and gadgets even the food. Christmas will still come. Another question I have is why do people feel that they have to go into debt at Christmas time? How about doing something really nice for someone as a gift or making something simple and giving it. Get the kids involved. Invite people over for dinner with everyone bringing  a dish to share. You don't need to eat prime rib and turkey...sit on the floor if you don't have enough chairs......Please God don't forget what Christmas is about. I know this may seem naive but lets really evaluate why we celebrate the way we do.  Why do they have to give up Christmas? Have we not learned anything from Dr. Sues?

Why stick around in such a corrupt, socialist nation? If nothing is done, in 10-20 years even Texas will be democratic if we don't leave and end the constant bombardment of propaganda from Hollywood and D.C. We also need to secure our borders. That ONLY happens if we secede. All the good work our churches do is undone when their members go home and turn on the television, the radio, or view filth on the internet. Worse our churches can't speak out for fear of losing "tax-exempt status" which the Feds use as blackmail against them! Secession is the only way to stop all this blackmail and propaganda!

Don't base your view of husbandry on modern, northerly practise. They probably weren’t literally ‘sitting out’ – shepherds were nomadic, living in cabins or wagons.

Sheep go out to the hills and fields during the spring, summer, fall and come in from the colder weather in winter. Jesus was not a capricorn, more likely an Aries.
