southcoast09 09/09/18 2:05:49 PM #1:	Fact: Christmas is a holiday to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ (yes, I know he wasnt born in December, thats just when we do it), Its not about Santa and Frosty. Its not about friends and family. Its not about presents and Turkey. Its not about peace and goodwill. All of those things are important, but the celebration is of Jesus birthday. If you deny that Jesus Christ was the son of God (or, at the very least, a really good person), then you have no business celebrating Christmas. --- #MakeFinalFantasyGreatAgain <cite>southcoast09 posted [p:908410653] in Christmas ...
