At least admit you celebrate the consumer holiday

Even though Christmas is over, I can't help but say it annoys me when conservative Christians criticize everyone for celebrating Christmas in its consumer holiday aspect.

Why does this annoy me? Because they are doing it too!!! Cons think that going to church on Christmas or Christmas Eve, makes the difference in celebrating Christmas as a consumer holiday or as a religious holiday.

In the end, Christians still do presents, decorations, and many other Christmas consumer traditions. So they are just as guilty. True Christians do not celebrate Jesus' birthday by getting something or putting up things that have no relation to his birth.

There is nothing wrong with celebrating the consumer holiday, but admit to it rather than dress it up as a Christian thing and then chastise others for celebrating it in its consumer form.

This goes for all holidays.
