Hope everyone is enjoying their time as the holiday season(s) come near.
Recently there was a post (a really interesting and well put together post) ; I can't remember who wrote it. But it was well written, just wanted to let you know that your time in putting that together was awesome.
I was discussing with someone about Christmas of how much fun it is and what happened was they tried to get the point accross that Jesus wasn't born in Dec. That he was born in Oct. My question is not about the birth, but my question is a JW can still celebrate his birthday, as long as it is not done on the actual day of his birth which is impossible any because you cannot go back to that year in which you were born, so technically you're not celebrating your "birthday" Just your birthdate. :-) , then (aside from it being pagen orgins) what is wrong with giving gifts at Christmas? Or even observe (notice observe not worship) . It is not Christs' actual birthdate. If Christmas was in Oct, and the day of "Christmas" was then, they'd say oh Christ did not want his birthday to be celebrated.
There is no getting around or through to their beliefs and practices is there?
