Christmas, for those of us who believe that Christ is the son of God, is celebrated in the heart, Steve. It can comfortably be celebrated by giving gifts, drinking glog, enjoying the fellowship of friends and family (whatever their belief) and praising the Lord. The only thing that stops people from celebrating the birth of Christ is themselves. There's also nothing wrong in celebrating the shortest day of the year (Yahoo!!!!) If God is love, than the best way to worship him is to rejoice at this time of year and share our love with all. The word Christmas is very simply broken down into Christ and celebrate. Here's to celebrating with all of our friends. Giving gifts, if it's done in love, is a wonderful way to celebrate.

I can hardly wait for Christmas. As a matter of fact, my wife and I have been celebrating it with our fmaily and friends for the last week.
