Every year I find more and more dissonance between the celebration I want and the celebration that is widely regarded to be the "norm" for Christmas. I feel, quite honestly, disgusted by Christmas celebrations. I am almost more okay celebrating Christmas as a secular holiday (a chance to get together with family and all the fun that goes along with that) than I am with trying to fit Jesus into a celebration that neither began with Him nor seems to have very much to do with Him. I feel increasingly drawn to the idea of celebrating the Biblical feasts and festivals instead, as together they beautifully tell the whole story of redemption.<br /><br />Loved the closing paragraphs.Hippie Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14718357472343295031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3789945497043348594.post-38494508372539592752010-11-09T05:46:01.010-08:002010-11-09T05:46:01.010-08:00Love you :) Thanks for speaking up!Love you :) Thanks for speaking up!Kimberleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05297599177163640410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3789945497043348594.post-17659960791071735962010-11-08T12:32:40.076-08:002010-11-08T12:32:40.076-08:00Amos 5 21 “I hate, I despise your religious festiv...Amos 5 21 “I hate, I despise your religious festivals; <br /> your assemblies are a stench to me. <br />22 Even though you bring me burnt offerings and grain offerings, <br /> I will not accept them. <br />Though you bring choice fellowship offerings, <br /> I will have no regard for them. <br />23 Away with the noise of your songs! <br /> I will not listen to the music of your harps. <br />. . . <br />26 You have lifted up the shrine of your king, <br /> the pedestal of your idols, <br /> the star of your god- <br /> which you made for yourselves. <br />27 Therefore I will send you into exile beyond Damascus,” <br /> says the LORD, whose name is God AlmightyPfingstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12741397045938415768noreply@blogger.com
