I don't mean to put the two side by side, but we earlier spoke of Christmas' origins as a pagan practise, which was then plastered over with Christianity by the RCC. What is the difference with taking a pagan symbol and plastering that over with Christian meaning as well? Pagan origin is pagan origin; I am not trying to tie Christ to the Black Mass by any means. Sorry if I gave that impression.
As I said earlier, we do presents on the 5th and religious celebration only on the 25th. On the 24th we might open a stocking and read from Luke. BUT this thread raises (annually) some issues that I am not comfortable with and should personally look at in more of a Scriptural light and less of a cultural one.
