ok im doin an essay right now on 'should christmas be renamed 'the winter festival'
so what do you all think about it?
please i really need help lol
much appreciated

well devout atheist that i am, i think of it as a 'hurray the nights are drawing out now' sort of celebration anyway.

so i suppose, yes.

Not renamed because to Christians it is Christmas.

But non religious people should celebrate it as a Winter Festival. You don't get non Jews having Bar Mitzvah's do you.

if you want christmas presents, then you should call it christmas

soltice gifts, how about that?

I hate the idea that people only think htey can give me a gift at x-mas or my brithday, im an easy going guy, you can give me a gift when you want

that's a dangerous thing to say spam!

at least you get christmas and birthday presents at the moment.

why is it dangerous?

because it means that u are greedy

didnt you lot already know that?

yes we did-but we didn't want to actually be right about

lol, well now you are right

Most of us no longer worship the moon or sun, yet we still call the first and last days of the week "Monday" and "Sunday". Likewise I see no reason to rename Christmas just because its no longer a Christ worshipping event for many (most?) of us.

is that why Monday & Sunday are so called?
