Okay, Jesus in Christmas, A Big Deal?

Okay, so i was in church the other day, and they were going on and on about christmas, right? they’re all “people have taken jesus out of christmas, and the song ranked the number one christmas carol is ‘rockin around the christmas tree’ and there isn’t even any mention of christ in it!!! waaahhh!”

okay. get over it.

1. if you actually took the time to find out what the number one christmas carol is, you’re looking for something to complain about.

2. churches have been whining the same tune about christ and christmas for years and years now. it drives me crazy. maybe i just don’t appreciate the argument because there has always been an excess of christ in my christmas due to two sets of overly religious grandparents. but either way, i still say they’re just trying to guilt trip you into coming to church more often.

3. i’m sorry, but just because jesus is the reason we have christmas, does not make him the true meaning of christmas. the true meaning of christmas is family. being together, being accepting, giving gifts to family members to see the delighted looks on their faces, enjoying the unique melting pot of personalities, and for once in a very rare time, just be with your family. bask in their doting on you, and love them. jesus in all this is great; a really cute, inspiring story. But, my friends, the true meaning of christmas is family, love, and just being together.

**merry christmas, and happy holidays**
