Surrounding myself with the holidays give me comfort. I am not sure if Christmas especially is really a Christian holiday, but the basic understanding has many Christian tenets. Christmas has gotten too commercialized and does have pagan origins. Should I just avoid celebrating it because of those things? That is a good question. It makes me think about how I should celebrate this holiday, if at all. If I were to celebrate Christmas, would it make me less of a Christian if I were to celebrate? Chances are, Jesus was not born on December 25, but during the Fall. So why do we really celebrate this wonderful day. Those are 24 hours that I look for, but am I part of the Christmas problem or rather, "dilemma"?
