That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.

In "A Charlie Brown Christmas" Charlie Brown asks: "Isn't there anyone out there who can tell me what Christmas is all about?"Linus steps up and says:

quote:

---

"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the fields, keeping watch over their flocks by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the lord shone round about them, and they were so afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not, for behold, I bring unto you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you this day is born in the City of Bethlehem, a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; you shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes and ***** in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel, a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on Earth peace, good will toward men'". That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie brown.

X-Evolutionist, welcome to EvC. I want you to know, first of all, that I like the way that this topic of yours was written except for a couple of issues.
1) All topics must start here. Dont circumvent the process by going to the coffeehouse, especially with a Faith/Belief based topic.2) I am impressed with your site "x-evolutionist.com." You are articulate and present your case quite nicely. I wonder why you have a dot com site, however! We don't allow spamming (advertising) at EvC! On your site, you say this: Now...this is why I cannot allow your site to appear in your signiture!We simply are not a forum for your advertising! Dead Body Guy is also blatant and against our rules! Why do you feel the need to support that! (?)I simply ask that you go through us here at PNT first! Play by our rules and you may debate. Stop with the overt advertising, however!!Please remove your site from your signature! You may keep it at this topic only, and everyone can have the opportunity to read your site.Tell me: Is Christmas about commercialism?This message has been edited by AdminPhat, 12-24-2005 08:40 AM
