As a kid I was told that we just don’t celebrate Chtistmas. I don’t even recall the reason given for not celebrating it. Just a big void around that time of year and feeling abnormal.
How have you guys felt about celebrating Christmas since you left the LC and who is celebrating it this year?

I try not to let “Christmas” be a distraction, but focus on enjoying the opportunity to appreciate the Lord’s first coming while looking forward to His second coming.
Christians in the community churches I’ve attended since 2000 mostly get that, and messages along those lines are shared every year.
