Of course you celebrate the birth of Jesus, it seems like we have some sort of explanation for the Christmas Eve. What's your explanation for the new year's presents? :D

I think it is to add more meaning to the new year and not to take meaning away from Christmas. Thats what I think anyway.

As Sega said we do not want to spoil the meaning of Christmas so we do not add the exchanging presents thing because all you think at the end of it is the present.

During New Year we celebrate the New Year that is coming and since Santa Claus judge us for the previous year according to our actions, he brings us presents if we were good boys and girls or get nothing if we were bad boys and girls.

Clear :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Christmas for me will be my 2 girls so excited on Christmas morning and above all family. All getting together and having a great time, eating and drinking far too much.

Sorry but the religious meaning means nothing to me, to me it is about family enjoying the season together.

I am not opposed to other beliefs or ways of enjoyment but I will say that I've had the religious belief bit knocked out of me having spent all previous Christmas' in the UK where you are not allowed to have beliefs.

I'm not sure I agree with the "if you've been good"!! Emotional blackmail.

My most treasured photographs are family at Christmas. Good memories.
