I've always had the notion of believing that holidays such as Christmas and Easter have become way too commercialised and taking away the true meaning of those two important events in the Christian calender. Christmas because it is the birth of our Saviour and Easter of course his death and resurrection.
Okay I am guilty of receiving presents and eating Easter eggs but they were not part of why we celebrate these two holidays and it saddens me to see that people are so caught up in that rush to find the perfect present without stopping to think about the true meaning of it.
I know that in today's multicultural society that many don't celebrate it because it isn't part of what they believe in and that is fine with me too, but I think that Christainity has been the subject of a lot of bad press lately and I firmly believe that there is nothing wrong with displaying the Nativity scene anywhere just like people display Christmas trees.
