Nope have my reasons and they are personal to me so the heck with it
For sure. If we view day to day life this way, we not only become stronger ourselves, but our family becomes strong and as a collective, our people. We need to reinstate family values, strength, etc. to overcome the forces against us.
Hear the word which the Lord speaks to you, O house of Israel. Thus says the Lord: “Do not learn the way of the Gentiles; Do not be dismayed at the signs of heaven, For the Gentiles are dismayed at them. For the customs of the peoples are futile; For one cuts a tree from the forest, The work of the hands of the workman, with the ax. They decorate it with silver and gold; They fasten it with nails and hammers So that it will not topple. They are upright, like a palm tree, And they cannot speak; They must be carried, Because they cannot go by themselves. Do not be afraid of them, For they cannot do evil, Nor can they do any good.”
Jeremiah 10:1-5 NKJV

I don't celebrate Christmas because it is a pagan holiday. It was created by what you now call the white man. Gentiles by another name.
I know people say you are not worshipping anything but in fact you are worshipping a tree. Everytime you reach under a tree to grab a gift you are bowing down in front of that tree.
From a socio-economic perspective this Folly day
Serves as an economic detriment to the populace. People save their money all year just to spend it all in one month. Then you have to wait until the following year of income taxes to recupe your losses. This practice destroys our people spritually and economically. Definitely not celebrating it.
I choose to follow the true Holy days of God.

Indeed sister. Truth to power in your words. True indeed sis.
Accomplishing personal and family goals should feel like a holiday and should happen way more frequently.
Christmas is not a part of my religious beliefs as a Muslim. I do celebrate Kwanzaa as a part of our cultural expression and I will be observing Arutisuse as well. Any chance to raise the cultural vibration in our community should be embraced.
Happy birthday baby Jesus. I don't celebrate but, I do like waiting for the after Christmas sales.
After the new year is when I buy everything, because everything is 50% off.
School supplies, birthday gifts, anniversary gifts, clothing, appliances, etc.
My Mom taught me this when I was young.
No, I don't celebrate Christmas. Let's just say I'm hedging by bet when it comes to god/religion.
Man I’d go with the pagan holiday if it means I get a good woman out of it.Man this is a toughie subject!My wife is crime Guyana and this is a big time of the year for them as a culture and Boxing.Me on the other hand I like to creat my own traditions.Long story short this was a fight that lasted for years.I don’t fuck with Pagan holidays.I love this woman had three kids with her so it’s one of them Unresolved issues
