I don’t celebrate Christmas, but keep in mind that you should be grateful for whatever gift you may receive this month.
I don’t celebrate Christmas.
When I was younger, I used to celebrate it with my family and friends although I’ve never liked it. I’ve never liked the excessive spending, the blinking lights, the festivities, so when I grew up, I simply stopped celebrating it. It just never felt right with me.
Lately, many parents say that they don’t celebrate Christmas, but they do it for the sake of their children. They enjoy buying presents to see their little happy faces.
Here is where I want to talk about gift giving. There are some people who look forward to Christmas because they look forward to the gifts that they would be receiving instead of giving.
It is better to give than to receive (Acts 20:35).
And not only on Christmas Day. We should be giving every day. And speaking of gifts, I recently came across an article in one of our dailies…

Any gift is a blessing. Reading the best, and worst ones, I kept thinking did these folks not realize that at some point a gift they gave to someone, was that someones worst gift? I like giving gifts but for some reason it makes me uncomfortable receiving them.

I agree, it is a blessing that someone desires to give you one, this is why I never exchange any gift I am given. If someone thinks enough of me to actually put in time and select something I am blessed.

Exactly. No matter the gift, we should be appreciative. Unfortunately, we live in a world where material things are boss and the young generation is spoiled.

Thank you so much for sharing! I’ve been having mixed feelings. I like parts of traditions and lights, but I’m also seeing other parts I am not so sure about.

Christmas has become too commercialized now, but you do it your way and the parts that you’re not so sure about? Don’t stress about it.

Thank you 🙂 my comment was focusing on a gift I told someone I didn’t want, but they got it for me anyway, and I can’t really use it. I”m thinking of donating so someone else could.

I don’t see anything wrong in giving it to someone who would use it.
