@very-rusty saidChristmas doesn’t have a “true” meaning, only the meaning which we give it ourselves.

@very-rusty saidit's a pagan ritual for and timed with (as ponderable has noted) the winter solstice...

@very-rusty saidThere is no meaning, like blades of grass tossed to an uncaring wind, all effort is vain, all order an illusion, Christmas is a vulgar absurdity. I imagine a gift being meticulously crafted, shipped halfway across the country, stacked orderly on a shelf in some store, picked out and wrapped with care. Only to go directly in the trash, because it is useless.

@very-rusty said"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." - Luke 2:8-14, KJV

@suzianne saidI respect your opinion but that is definitely NOT what Christmas is about

And this, Charlie Brown, is what Christmas is all about.
@wolfgang59 saidMore of less what I said, but my post got 3 thumbs down because I’m unpopular with some people.
I respect your opinion but that is definitely NOT what Christmas is about
(at least not in UK and NZ) . Christmas is a secular holiday ... do whatever
you want with it ... but have a good time. Be good, be kind.
@divegeester saidDive all you can do is give what your definition of a Christmas means to you. What others think isn't important. Thumbs down aren't important it is just other people's opinions. Rather people myself included agree or disagree with you doesn't matter. We will always get thumbs down as we do have a history with people who don't like that we are out spoken.

Btw I ...may... be travelling to NZ in 2019 and could quite easily annoy you further by dropping by!
