The Real Meaning Of Christmas.
33 Answers
Do you think a lot of people have forgotten the real meaning of Christmas now? Theres a lot of chat about presents, but when did you last see a Nativity scene in anyones front window? Im not religious particularly but Ive noticed religious Christmas cards in the shops seem to be few and far between now too.

I wouldn't dare speak for a lot of other people but I haven't forgotten, maybe my upbringing as a Catholic and having 4 school age children at RC Schools in the family makes a difference.
I have also sent a few religious cards to those I know will appreciate them. They aren't hard to source.
If you spend the period being kind to others that's fine by me.

I'm like Cupid amd Mamya. I like to send cards with christmas story scenes on and some with a bible text inside. They are easy to source from various charities and christian organisations like Tear Fund. As a Christian who attends church twice on a Sunday I find it really sad that the real meaning of Christmas is being pushed out especially by some town councils who insist on taking the Christ out of Christmas and calling it a Winter Festival etc.
I thought Christmas meant.
Spend too much money.
Buy gifts and cards for those you don't really like anyway.
Eat way too much.
Get totally smashed.
Fall off a kids toy and injure your self.
Fight with at least one relative.
Then agree it was a wonderful day and vow to do it again next year.
Or is that just an Ozzy tradition ;-/

I was brought up a Catholic in the 50's and 60's, but realised that all religion was bunk in my mid to late teens.
Its sad reality but Christianity just isn't relevant any more for an increasingly larger amount of British people.
Mammon took over from Jesus a long time ago, and I can't see that situation changing any time soon.

Not meant to be confusing Dougie....I am just sympathising with Georgiesmum. For a lot of religious people, Xmas isn't the same as it used to be.
Even for atheists like me, I can see the simple charm and attraction of the Nativity.....I was only describing the other day about my part in a school nativity play in the 1950's.
But religion just isn't relevant to most peoples lives anymore, and that is a fact, and for some, it will be a sad fact.

I'm not religious. I celebrate Christmas as a time to be with my family - most of whom I don't see throughout the rest of the year. I think a lot of people are the same. I don't think about the birth of Christ at all.
I haven't bought loads of presents. Everyone is getting wine, whisky, money or vouchers. I can't bear the thought of driving up the motorway, sitting in a queue to get in, sitting in a queue for a parking space and then traipsing round the shops buying something that no one wants.
