why I stopped doing Christmas

someone at my office asked me about Christmas this morning. when i told him i didn’t participate, and that i celebrated Kwanzaa he was generally interested. i explained the need for our race to reiterate positive things due to the past, and the effects it has had on us, and those around us. Kwanzaa helps us understand this and is good for personal growth. your value is not put on things you receive or buy.


4 years ago i was very interested in having a close relationship with God. i prayed for wisdom. i have always been hungry for the word, and he answered my prayer. i was able to read the Holy Bible in its entirety and gather spiritual truths.

when i came across this scripture I had to question my actions –
Jer:10:2: Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
Jer:10:3: For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
Jer:10:4: They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
Jer:10:5: They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.

i knew something was wrong. i immediately started to research the origin of Christmas. i was shocked with what I found. it is actually sex worship for pagan gods called Saturnalia.

here's another interesting site - montanasat

Christmas has nothing to do with the birth of Christ. plus he told us to remember his death, not his birth.

i hope the best to everyone who loves Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour.
