>This is a canard, tired of hearing about it.

canard (ke-närd´) noun
1. An unfounded or false, deliberately misleading story.

No, Christmas is the canard.  Compare:  A New Look at the Myth of Santa Claus versus the Reality of Jesus Christ

Like an election, there is a time for campaigning (convincing) and a time for voting.  It is past the time for convincing.  Vote in any box you choose.  Have thine own way.

Lu 19:27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

2Ti 3:8  Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.

1Jo 3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

2Th 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Re 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. 15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

OK, I confess. I'm an idolater. I'm a Christian that celebrates Christmas. I have a tree, decorations (including an electronic Santa) and like to go to Christmas parties.

Late at night I perform a special pagan ritual. It is commonly known as the "Jingle Bell Twist". I do this around my tree. I then bow down to my electronic Santa and mumble the infamous pagan words "Merry Christmas".

On Christmas eve, I read the sections of the Bible dealing with the birth of Christ. Of course I don't really mean anything by this; I just like to make fun of it.

On Christmas day, I attend church services early in the day. I of course don't mean it. It is just to hide the fact that I've converted to paganism. I have relatives come over (or I go over to be with them). They are "Christians" that also celebrate Christmas, so they are pagans too. We involve ourselves in pagan rituals such as talking, giving/receiving gifts, eating a wonderful pagan meal and simply enjoying eachother's pagan company. It is nice to be able to hang out with other pagans.

After the day is done, I pray to my pagan gods and do that dance around my tree again. Then it is off to bed. I need to rest up for next year's pagan extravaganza.
