Reclaiming Christmas

Somehow, the phrase "Jesus is the reason for the season" rubs me the wrong way. It seems somewhat dishonest. The reason for the celebration of Christmas is much murkier than the birth of Jesus. Christmas was not a celebration in the early Christian Church. The Christmas traditions of church and our societies are much more recent.
Think about what's right with Christmas.
Think about what's wrong.

Christmas to most people these days is just another holiday. Most people have lost sight of the true meaning "Jesus Birth" . In the US it isn't really a holiday for time of reflection, as a lot of supermarkets , restaurants etc are still open for business. You are suppose to say happy holidays not Merry Christmas.
