Amen. Have to share what is on my heart. God has really dealt with me on many changes regarding the celebration of his birth. As I have researched the truths to the traditions of Christmas that I grew up with & followed. I do not do Santa or anything involving him as I feel it is one of the things out of many that take away from Christs birth. That is lying to my child. I will no longer partake of what the pagan has crept in on us Christians and slap Christ on it. I feel I was offending Jesus even though he knew that was not what many of the things represented to me in my heart, but now I know the research and I feel a strong conviction to use that excuse that those things didnt represent that to me. This post is not to condemn anyone or start up an argument of discussion. I will not argue or treat those of you that see things different. Everyone has to work out their own salvation, as I am doing & seeking all the truth I can discover. I dont want to take that chance of knowing I could possibly be offending Jesus on something in participating in such a way that satan & man has made to take away from the birth of Jesus. Anything that atheists do to celebrate should be an eye opener to all of Gods children not to celebrate in the same traditions. If atheist pay to put up a billboard with santa & Jesus on the cross with thorns on his head and say Jesus is the myth then we have our answer if questioning and discussion is no longer needed. To give up those made up myths, or traditions are nothing compared to what he gave up for me. I feel that anything that is important to Jesus is important to me, and realizing that anything that takes away from the gift of his birth, that he lived to die for our gift of eternal life has to be hurtful to him. I want to celebrate it in a way Jesus would celebrate. I already fall short & fail him daily, so I dont need unnecessary things that are not important to him, and deceitful interfering with my walk or my childrens walk. I fear & tremble for the thought of judgement for myself as well as how I raise my children up, or misrepresent him, as I am not willing to take that chance. I would much rather walk alone that follow a crowd that will lead me where Jesus doesnt want me going to be accepted. The only one I want to follow, worry about pleasing and be accepted by his Jesus. If I am following, pleasing, and accepted by him it will align in his will. I pray & seek him to show and help me with anything that needs changed in me or my home. Love each one of you, but God loves you more! God Bless
