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.

Perhaps you have your own personal sea of glass awaiting you.

No biblical support for Santa Claus

Everything in your little ritualistic worship of the Goat God Pan checks ok except the electronic Santa.

That's just sick.
