As a kid I heard all the "it's a pagan holiday" stuff. Asked my pastor about it. He said, "Remember Deut. 30, God can use evil for good. It doesn't matter what pagans did. Pagans were actually just the common people. They weren't necessarily satan worshippers. They lived in their world and celebrated as their traditions dictated." What I got from our discussion is that if we have a tradition as Christians to remember the story of Christ on a certain day, we should go for it. Pagans can claim every holiday because Pagans came before Christians appeared. So what? That's like saying I can't celebrate our Country's birthday on the 4th of July because there were other people born on that day. Who cares?! Do what makes you happy. Celebrate traditions and the Love that surpasses all understanding.

Merry Christmas anons!
