Should Christmas be taken off the Calendar , Jewish and Muslim Groups seem to think so , I'm a Christmas and I think the event has become so commercialized to the Point it no longer has a meaning , most kids and adults don't have a clue why its a holiday and its a one day Holiday not two weeks , it is a day of deep meaning .:peace:
 
Lets not forget us atheists who think all religious holidays are ludicrous.

Personally I think the answer is for governments to legislate say 5 paid vacation days to be taken in support of whatever religion/cause you support that way you can celebrate whatever you like whenever you like.
 
Why must we always be so alike?
If you don´t want to celebrate Christmas, don´t.
I´m not religious, but for me Christmas is a tradition and I will retain it that way.
 
Yes Christmas is a tradition a day to feel good not a time of stress shopping here shopping there etcetera , etcetera , one of my best Christmases was in Vietnam , no presents no Christmas dinner , just a good feeling with good people , there was suppose to be a 24 hour Christmas truce that lasted about 24 minutes .
 
1st I celebrate it in honor of Jesus's birthday. I also like the joy the children have with Santa Claus and all the presents. Also I do admit I enjoy the Christmas goodies. Although my waistline doesn't.

BTW Tet sorry to hear about the bad X-mass in Nam bummer. Sounds like NVA didn't have the Christmas spirit.
 
Well JOC, you have eleven months afterwards to get rid of your
waistline :wink:

For me, Christmas is about closeness with my family.

Christmas in Patrol Base line, Afghanistan 2011.
 
One Christmas I spent in Iraq camped in a hell hole of a town. At some point during the night, someone started singing "o come all ye faithful" and soon the whole company was singing. Until some Sergeant Major started hollering about"operation discipline".
 
It was a good Christmas in mood my comrades and myself talked about things that matter , we talked about what we believed in and why , normally the Army provided a great Christmas dinner but there none for us don't remember why but we had plenty of good things to eat from care packages from home everybody shared , there was tension though , there was something out there something bad , what ? a little over a month later , tet .

Sargent Major sounds like a miserable buggger, to go and ruin some joy in a place like that.
 
i heard christmas is a catholic not a christian holiday anyway...but it shouldn't be. it's a traditional american holiday and it's very festive. id be sad without...the malls just wouldn't look the same.
