I choose to celebrate the birth of Christ, even though December 25th is not His actual birth date. It was originally a pagan holiday that christians adopted as the birth date of Jesus. I hate that it has become synonymous with commercialism and the meaning is lost to most people. I have never liked the whole christmas tree and presents and santa side of it.

What is your signature from?
Its a picture of my brother and the rest of his band, taken at Mount Ruapehu here in New Zealand.
Not at all. Christmas has become so commerical that it's celebrated by many non-Christians. That being said, I'm not Christian and I do celebrate Christmas. I love that feeling you get around Christmas time, which I really have yet to feel this year.

There is no "new" or "old" meaning of Christmas. It has only one meaning, although people celebrate it for different reasons.

My family is Christian (dad's side is Catholic, mom's side is Lutheran). I used to go to church, but I personally no longer have a religion...but I still celebrate Christmas with my family.
