Birthdays and Holidays

Duane:
I, wife and family growing up enjoyed EACH holiday to the fullest--ESPECIALLY the religious holidays.  The government, the American Criminal Liberties Union, et. al. are constantly trying to push GOD out of every occasion!  I want to OPENLY HONOR God on every occasion.
To do so, I call our county library EVERY YEAR just to make sure they plan to have the manger scene displayed for Christmas. (for p.c. reasons they have to call it the HUMMEL display so as to not mention Christmas) and I call every major store to make sure they showChristmas displays-
and threaten to not shop at any store that don't show signs of Christmas.  I also make sure each and every cashier KNOWS I prefer Merry Christmas over Season's Greeetings.  NOT BASHFUL!

Kat:

Well one of the freedoms I enjoy is not being strapped with holidays and celebrations of this world. I don't want things that keep me anchored to this world, subject to the material. Now I don't judge or resent how anyone would choose to involve themselves in these things. And at those family get-to-gathers that happen at those times I most certainly take the opportunity to enjoy the company of family and friends. But I personally don't feel the need for the glitz and glamor of the decorations and all the trappings of traditions that it entails. To me the cumbersome materialism is distracting and just takes away from enjoying people. So I say live and let live or to each his own.  

mercy, peace and love

Rom 14:5  One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

It is everyone's race.  :)
