[QUOTE="jcizzle, post: 1969942, member: 18220"] Yes I celebrate these holidays. But as I said in my original post, to me Halloween has evil beginnings with Christians trying to tame it down so they can participate. Easter and Christmas have holy beginnings and have drifted from that over time. I do celebrate easter but it's about the rising of Jesus from the grave. I do celebrate Christmas but it's about the birth of Jesus not Santa. We give gifts on Dec 25th but from birth my kids were not lied to about Santa. He's a mythical thing we pretend for fun but the gifts are really not from him. We give gifts to each other as symbols of how God gave us Jesus as a gift. No problem with this. Our church does something similar. We don't participate because we choose to make it a non-event and not recognize the day at all. For the reason copied below from the op. I go to work. My kids go to practice then home for dinner and tv. But I have no problem with folks that put a turn on it. [/QUOTE]
