about
I have a heart for this stuff. My love and greatest desire is helping people, thus the reason for majoring in Psychology. I hope to someday soon be a board-certified Clinical Psychologist. Until then, I'm going to give my opinions and hopefully help some people out in the process.On another note, I love learning, singing, dancing, and God. I'm heavily into acting, singing, dancing, and trying to get and stay in shape. I don't like drama and if I give advice to anyone, it is in hopes of drama-free results, but never guaranteed. I believe in standing up for yourself, regardless of who's against you. You've got to take a stand or you'll fall for anything.

Why do many non-Christians celebrate Christmas? Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Jesus, so I just don't understand how anyone who doesn't believe in Jesus could celebrate his birth just for presents. And why do nonreligious people have to celebrate Christmas? Why not Hannukah or Kwanza?
Also, why do people who only celebrate Christmas and Easter consider themselves Christian? (people who don't pray or go to church, but still celebrate Christian holidays)
I'm not really sure how to answer all of this question because I am a Christian that celebrates Christmas. No one really knows the exact date that Christ was born or the exact date of his resurrection. Christmas is about celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. But I believe it's just become a ritualistic thing is why non-Christians celebrate Christmas.
Being a Christian doesn't have any concern with attendance or celebration of Easter or Christmas. I believe even some Christians have lost the true meaning of Christmas. I know of a family that only gives one gift a piece to their 2 kids every Christmas so they don't all caught up in the commercilization of it. We don't know who are Christians and who aren't. Only God does. Many, many people pray and we are unaware of it. Just remember that God knows each and every person's heart. We cannot judge anyone based on the days they attend church or judge them for any matter. That's between them and God. =) Also, I've wondered that before too.
