i had hoped that we could look at this information not as something that has to be debated but just as something that will help us to have better knowledge of jw faith . as was most likely (i think )also the hope of the poster.
Btw, There are actually 7 JW's at the forum who are regular contributors to the discussion
I've found the whole idea of Christmas increasingly distasteful, but it's difficult to not celebrate it without feeling like a 'humbug.'
they don't celebrate christmas either.
Quotethey don't celebrate christmas either.But 'they' certainly benefit financially.
...... i had also wondered why if the jackson family did not celebrate christmas how it was that they cut i think 6 christmas albums.

Katherine and the children didn't. Until they got old enough to make their own religious decisions. However even when they were young and under Katherine's guidance, they lived in a religiously split home. As one parent was of a faith that the other parent wasn't. Therefore things such as the Christmas album amongst kids that supposedly didn't celebrate Christmas, make sense.
I guess that celebrating X-mas is just a tradition to keep up with in order to have "happy" moments with the family. A time for everyone to be nice to each other (or to pretend to be nice :icon_lol:). It´s party time, isn´t it? Let´s have a reason to give presents to each other with the elbow! Let´s have a reason to meet mother in law and behave as if you like her! :th_bravo:Come on folks! X-mas is fun! Decorating the home is cool! Do people really care when Jesus was born? May be 30 years ago that was a sacred reason, but not now days in our society. Ask children what´s fun with celebrating x-mas! They will tell you that they can´t wait for their iphone 5 :icon_lol:
