It seems very old fashioned and foolish to me that people in this day in age would display such strong emotions for a man who lived 2,000 years ago (especially when they don't observe many of the commandments He set forth for His acolytes). I rarely meet Christians I respect. Most of them are filled with hate and they have a sick way of interpreting the Old and New Testament to justify their own beliefs (which often are contradictory to the teachings of Jesus and have more to do with modern politics than anything else). You are right that Christmas should be about family, gift giving and receiving and about taking a break from work and celebrating the winter solstice. We should throw Jesus out of the whole Christmas celebration, because let's face it, most people probably think it's a joke to worship a baby who was born 2,000 years ago. Worshipping a dog who lived during the 1970s would make about as much sense. http://robertjerome.wordpress.com All of the Catholics in my town take the religious implications of Christmas very seriously.
