Christmas lights brings a smile to my heart. When I feel down Christmas lights brings a smile to my face and heart. To me the lights represent the light that Jesus brought to us.

You would think with so many people calling themselves christian responding and talking about christmas at least one of them would realise that december 25th is not the true birthday of Jesus Christ. Christmas predates the belief in the christian religion and remains today a Pagan holiday, just some how, that became one of Jesus. The true archaic scripture on which the bible and many other stories were based states that Jesus ws born around the time of September more than December, but the exact date remains a mystery today.

But to me, the lights create a feeling of warmth and excitement. Not because of the 25th, but because it is a time that many people get together and share their time in a kind and courteous manner.

To me Christmas lights spell profit, as much as I like to look at them, I’m also always looking at them from a perspective of what can I learn that will make my company more money. This is because I’ve taken my interest in christmas lights and turned it into a holiday lighting business that I run each year at christmas. I even created a website deticated to making money hanging christmas lights, you can check it out here:

Like everything else in this world, this gets blown out of proportion. I am a christian and I grew up in a christian home. To me the lights are just that… lights. I put up several thousand lights every year and they are not done for religious reasons. I enjoy the people coming by to look at my work. We have a large computerized display and a radio broadcase so you can hear the music without bothering the neighbors. I enjoy designing the show and talking to the people as they come by to enjoy it.

With immence pleasure i remember Christmas. The significance of light is nothing but the presence of God. It is in light we see everything. We should see ourseleves and others, and everything in the “light”. The light reminds us the presence of God with us, to love, to care, to protect, to guide and to save.

For me and my family Christmas is about the birth of Jesus Christ. Everything that we do has a spiritual meaning to us. When I look at the tree I see the cross. The green stands for everlasting life through Jesus Christ. We are told in the bible that Jesus is the light of the world and that we are to be lights also. so when I see the lights this is what I think of and have taught my children. A strand of lights is like christians all shining to the world to let them know Jesus is alive and loves them. The candy cane represents the sheperds staff. The star represents the star that shined so brightly leading the sheperds and wise men to Christ. Jesus is the reason for the season and he deserves to be celebrated after all he died and rose again for each of us. He gave the greatest gift. He gave freely as should we.

I think people connecting commercialized christmas ( American Tradition ) with the birth of Christ is ignorant. These are 2 seperate things. Just because a Christian celebrates an American Tradition, does not make it Christian, and to say so is not respecting people that may only celebrate the American Tradition and do not take part in celebrating the birth of Christ. Could it be that some religions think it is wrong to celebrate the American Tradition and are upset that Christians celebrate both? Could be. I am suprised that Jews believe presents, lights, and tree’s are a Christian thing. Also kind of offended that someone would cheapen christianity saying all you need to do to be christian is hang up lights and put up a tree.

Is it okay if Christians participate in the American Tradition and Celebrate the birth of Christ, and at the same time do not require others to believe in either.

Am I crazy to think this? As a white Christian do I have the right to think this?

I am a Christian and before I was Christian I put up lights every year. My husband was Muslim and he helped me put the lights up and enjoyed it very much. One time we had over 15,000 lights and it looked like a winter wonderland. Now that I am Christian I still put lights up. I use to really be into Santa before my conversion. But now I focus more on the savior. But I still put up my Santa decorations and I like the idea of Christmas being a time of peace and love. The savior was born in April by the way. I have always thought Christmas was such a wonderful time. Carols are beautiful. Even Barbara sings them! Colors and lights make my winter much brighter and joyful! So go ahead and decorate your home and enjoy the beauty!

Why do you quarrel and talk in vain? Don’t you know that the only thing that matters is what the Lord thinks? How does He view what you do? Consider His feelings. If you do anything against Him, woe to you. He is the God who created you. Do you really think you can hide from Him? How ignorant you all are. He knows where you stand. He searches your hearts. You are an evil generation. Therefore pray for Him to forgive you and repent. Instead of giving your opinions, consider whether or not the things you do are upright in the sight of God. If you do this, you are at peace with God. If you don’t woe to you for His anger is kindled against you. So be it. If you do sin, remember that there is not one sin that you commit that cannot be forgiven. Look into these things beloved.
