I don't go to Church on Christmas either. I get up and read at least two chapters in the Bible and then I go volunteer at the soup kitchen in my area. Every once in awhile I will go to my family house. But my family just gossip about other people and down other family members.....so I have reduce the amount of time I go to my family house.

All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return.

Reps: 10 (power: 0) | | | My church usually has a midnite Christmas eve service which I love going to. I think it is great!!! It is great to remember Christ and what he did for us not just at easter but all year round!! To thank him for family and friends and for the fact that we are able to share dinner around a table and that we are blessed with so many things that many people around the world are not!!! I love Christmas time, pity that it is so materialistic!! |
