@perfectfifths It will be warm over here in Australia, but I think it might be cold in USA. 😉 (now I actually don’t celebrate Christmas) but have you ever thought it odd to have carols about snow and sleighs when it’s in summer??? Make me think of Olaf from Frozen. hehe. Have an awesome day.
@bluejay Yes! It is odd! That’s why we have a CD of Aussie Christmas carols (ever heard Aussie Jingle Bells? 😀 )
May I ask why is it you don’t celebrate Christmas?
I think I have, but I can’t remember it off the top of my head.
Um, kinda complicated, but the base of it is, we don’t see the point. Yes, celebrating the birth of Christ is awesome, but hey, we should do that everyday. It’s a lot deeper than that, and I don’t understand half of it. I’m not against Christmas and I wouldn’t be against celebrating it, without going crazy, of course, but at the moment we don’t.
I hope that explains it a bit. 😉
@perfectfifths
@bluejay Yeah, I totally get that! I agree that celebrating Jesus’ birth should be an everyday occurrence (I’ve been hearing that a lot this year) But we love Christmas as a holiday as well, so it’s like a little extra to that celebration one day a year; we decorate, we make presents for all our friends and family (most of the time a lot of the gifts under the tree aren’t for any of us 😉 ) and we have family lunch or dinner. One thing, though, is that some of our extended family aren’t Christians, so we can’t (well, not really can’t, but don’t) celebrate the Jesus’ birth aspect when we’re at the family get-togethers (which is a shame) that’s at home (sometimes with a Happy Birthday Jesus cake 😉 )
