How do you think christmas must be celebrated?

How do you think Christmas must be celebrated? I know a lot of people probably do the traditional get a gift, receive a gift for each family member & get more gifts for the kids in the family but what about those of you who do something different? For instance, we’re all trying to save money and last year we each went out and bought one $25 gift card to somewhere & then we did a “secret santa” deal and put the gift card in a big basket and we each drew out a gift card, and whichever one you received was yours. We called out names and if it was your turn, you got a gift card. If someone went after you though, and they didn’t want their gift card and instead wanted yours…they could steal yours. Well, that was a great idea and I enjoyed it. Only thing was, it went by so fast and there was no gifts to open, and it just didn’t feel “Christmas-y”. THIS year though I came up with the idea that instead of gift cards we give presents

IS CHRISTMAS A RELIGIOUS PRACTICE OR A COMMERCIAL DATE?

IS CHRISTMAS A RELIGIOUS PRACTICE OR A COMMERCIAL DATE? As many people have said before, Christmas has been greatly commercialized and made secular over time, but this doesn't change the fact that Christmas is a celebration of Christ's birth. Now that isn't to say that he was born on this specific day, this is just the day that Christians choose to get together to celebrate his coming, no matter when it happened.   Since we're slinging mud at tradition, its only fair to point out that the only reason that secular families celebrate Christmas is because, way back when, their ancestors celebrated it, and it became a tradition to give presents at this time of year, and the religious aspect of it just became less important, and eventually non-existent, but they still celebrate it because its become a tradition. I bet the majority of the people arguing that Christmas is not a religious holiday, celebrated Christmas with their parents, who celebrated with their parents

Humans rights

HUMANS RIGHTS IN COLOMBIA AND ALL AROUND THE WORLD Every person is entitled to certain fundamental rights, simply by the fact of being human. These are called “human rights” rather than a privilege (which can be taken away at someone’s whim). They are “rights” because they are things you are allowed to be, to do or to have. These rights are there for your protection against people who might want to harm or hurt you. The pros of humans rights are that globalization protects people who are without laws, it spreads democracy and leadership, this gives humans right and securities wich are used to protect each individual person. Without globalization human rights would not exist in many other counties other than USA and Great Britain. Democracy lets people make these lawa that protect a humans right.  It helps avoid the miss use of power on people. Mang tyrannies like Germany, Great Britain and Russias violated human rights in a struggle for power. Leaders such as Adolf Hit

Abortion An abortion is the ending of pregnancy before birth which results in the death of an embryo or a fetus. Many people fight about if it's right or wrong to abort a child.  Abortion clinics get attacked.  You read about and hear about various of cases of abortions every day.  Are you pro life, or pro choice?  People say there's no middle ground, you're either for it or against it.
