How do people in Regina, Manitoba celebrate Christmas?

Why do people look at me crazy when I say I dont celebrate Christmas?

  • Like at school I told my teacher, "No I dont celebrate Christmas" She said thats a lie and told me to sit down. And my classmates! They say "Why dont you celebrate christmas isnt it like required, I feel bad for you, you dont get any gifts" See thats all people think Christmas is about.. getting gifts. And its hard for me to explain to them that its actually to celebrate being with family.

  • Answer:

    I would like to smack your teacher- but then that would make me as ugly as her!!! Amen- we do not follow the pagan holidays either- I tell people that "We no longer follow those traditions". because that is what they are - man made traditions that have deep roots in pagan rituals(winter solstice-in encyclopedia). you stick to your guns- and if you need ammo( information) on the pagan holidays you e-mail me. People will tell you "I don't think of the day as pagan, and I don't worship it that way"- but I for one worship the Holy God, and He says that those days and things are an abomination to HIM!!!! Hang in there- it won't be long now-

I'd say report your teacher to the principal. That's ignorant.

Christmas really has just become all about gifts, the "holiday spirit" is giving and receiving of gifts, and it has become a really secular holiday that's "celebrated" by so many people now that it's just seemingly uncommon.

Actually, Christmas has nothing to do with gifts or family. It is celebrating the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. If you don't celebrate, then that is your business and you shouldn't have to explain. Just say, because I don't! By the way, the true Christmas is not a pagan holiday. Read the bible!!!!!!!

No Christmas isnt about presents or eating yourself silly its SUPPOSED to be about celbrating CHRISTS birth- are you Jehovah witness? I know they dont celebrate Christmas

Lots of people in America don't celebrate Christmas. 7th day Advenists, those of Jewish Faith and just about everyone who keeps the Sabbath (Saturday) do not keep Christmas. It's a pagan holiday, so anyone who does not keep this holiday probably doesn't keep any of the other pagen ritual holidays either (ie. Easter). If you try and tell you teacher that though you'll likely put her into a spasm attack.

I wouldn't look at you that way if I knew you weren't Christian.

Society has turned Christmas into something completely opposite what it is supposed to be. We are supposed to be celebrating the birth of Jesus. It should be a time to be with your family, and share the love that Jesus gave to us. I don't think people should judge you for making a stand on your beliefs.
