Oh no! That’s really hard. My dad quit his job some years back because it was too stressful and not a good job to keep. He was without a full-time job for nine months. But the whole time God provided for us in so many different ways! God will get you guys through this. I promise. 🫂 Praying for y’all! 🩷

Oh! Another tradition our family has is reading through an Advent devotional throughout the month of December. 🥰

Random side note because I did recently find this out. Easter is mentioned in the KJV Bible (Acts 12:4), but it was an incorrect/imperfect translation. Most other translations use Passover.

Huh, interesting… I just looked that up in KJV and ESV and you’re right. 🤔 I’ve never noticed that before!

That’s awesome. A lot of people I know ea…

@grcr you have no idea how relieved I am to hear that someone believes the same😂 I only know 1 family irl that don’t celebrate Christmas, and it often feels like my family is alone in what we believe about Christmas, and tbh it can get low-key lonely at times

We just personally believe that God deserves better than recycled material, that He…[Read more]

Also important to note that Americans saw/knew Christmas as a Pagan holiday until the 1800s when it became “popular” to celebrate Christmas partially because of an influx of German/Irish immigrants who regarded Christmas as a celebration of Jesus’ birth

@theshadow

Hiii. I’m gonna be the first on here to say that I don’t celebrate Christmas, and neither does my immediate family (meaning parents/siblings). :3

(and that’s one reason why Christmas will be pretty much absent from everything I write as well🤷🏻‍♀️)

However, I don’t look down on anyone that does. Celebrating or not celebrating…[Read more]

It just wouldn’t be Christmas without a Fisherprice nativity.😃

Agreed. XD

Random side note because I did recently find this out. Easter is mentioned in the KJV Bible (Acts 12:4), but it was an incorrect/imperfect translation. Most other translations use Passover.

We also have a new tradition where we eat a different cuisine for dinner on the three(?) nights leading up to Christmas.

That’s awesome. A lot of…[Read more]

@theshadow

I do. I also have friends who do not. One family I know celebrate a Christian version of Hanukkah instead, which is essentially celebrating how Jesus brought light into the world. The other doesn’t observe anything that could be confused with Winter Solstice and Yule. For me, I agree with @power . The holiday is what you make it.

@highscribeofaetherium @ellette-giselle

It’s fine with me.

@theducktator

That’s perfect. Making up stories for things can be really handy though. I have a whole legend for a dress I’m making that has me as the younger daughter of a Holiness Methodist preacher in the woods of Texas who was heavily influenced by the Cane Ridge revival. We’re lower of the middle class, so my second best dress is a little…[Read more]

@theducktator

oh my goodness.

why does that sound familiar.

@raxforge

Thanks!

@highscribeofaetherium

not just post something you’ve already written?

I’m literally writing one right now………

@hybridlore   @linus-smallprint    @koshka   @keilah-h    @elishavet-pidyon   @grcr

Anyone want to see the Aesthetic of a character we haven’t met yet? Ya’ll are free to guess who it might be, but I’m not promising answers.

@elishavet-pidyon

I’m just gonna post a school paper or somethin.

@ellette-giselle Bwahahahaha

@elishavet-pidyon

*gasp*

20!!!!!!

You’re insane!!!

@liberty lol. I have 52 snowballs as of the last count.

*cackling*

@ellette-giselle Glad you liked it! This is probably the closest thing to a romance plot that I’ve written. (Instead of it being a small side plot.)

@stephie Since you apparently want to lay catch. *chases you*

OK…

*a giant cloud of snowballs puffs up from my…[Read more]

@theshadow

My blunt and honest opinion? I think Christians who choose not to celebrate Christmas are living from a place of religion and not relationship with God, where it has become more about what you do and don’t do than truly living with Jesus. That’s a blanket statement, and I’m sure it doesn’t apply to everyone- if God has genuinely…[Read more]
