Want to open one present a day early? Fine. Open two? Whatever floats your boat. Celebrate twice, once with the in-laws? More power to you. Ignore the actual holiday? That's a problem.
December 25th is a mutually agreed upon date to celebrate Jesus' birth...not the 24th.
I know the argument, I know, it's an arbitrarily picked date to begin with. Jesus wasn't born on Christmas. But then, if I can't celebrate with the rest of my countrymen on the agreed-upon date, please allow me to pick my own date to celebrate.
But, since it is Christmas day today, have a very merry one. Spend time with your friends and family, open up presents and remember the reason for the season.
Did you celebrate on Both days? We did. I think we even celebrated a little on Christmas eve eve. And we might even talk about Jesus' birth tomorrow. :)
ReplyDeleteI celebrated with my family on Christmas eve, and then celebrated with the fiancé today.
