Why...
1. Do people complain about christmas music/decorations before thanksgiving?
I welcome it if it's something I would like after thanksgiving, such as the music and eggnog. I'm never a fan of oversized baubles or blowup snowman or santa. But I love the greenery and listen to christmas music all year long.
2. Do people throw such a fit over people saying "happy holidays"?
I understand not everyone celebrates christmas. Even if everyone did, thanksgiving and new years are holidays that should be happy too.
3. Does calling christmas christmas even change that it's been totally/commercialized?
I think many christians don't have a problem with all the materialism as long as it's called christmas.
4. Do people stress the true meaning of christmas?
What defines truth? This winter holiday is ever evolving, in name, practice, and all included in that. The Bible is the first way to find Truth. But what about for man-made traditions? At what point do we look to for the true meaning? Seems everyone starts at the part they like, be it christ's birth or kindness to others.
5. Do christians fight so hard for christmas and nativity?
If christmas is about presents and the nativity scene is missing from public displays, does that change the fact that the Messiah did arrive? The nativity scene is inaccurate anyway. Aren't there other things more worth fighting for?
6. Do protestants celbrate advent?
I thought it was a catholic thing. I'll have to look into that this year. Maybe it's a substitution/supplement to keep religion in our December festivities.
7. Is there no War on Easter?
I think that's the most important holiday of the Christian religion. Anyone can be born, but only One died for our sins and rose again to sit at the right hand of the Father forever.
Thoughts?
