Christmas and Non-Believers - Should they celebrate it?
Should non-believers in Christianity celebrate Christmas?
Should non-Christians celebrate Christmas? Their feelings about the festival are very different from those of believers. Some Christians are offended by the secular nature of Christmas now. Some think it seems to have lost it's religious meaning. At the same time, non-Christians see Christmas as a festival that celebrates family and friendship. I guess most people fall somewhere between these two extremes. Have your say below. Tell us what you think about this topic.

Christmas Gift Transcending
The Eternal Light Of Childhood
Oh my, too old to believe in Santa Claus? Well, maybe we are. However, are we too old to remember when we did and the wonder that still lies there, napping within our memories? Take this time, this moment, to go back to the innocence of living in a world that is bright, filled with fairies and sugar plums and tin solders, dancing and marching across the dreams of your childhood. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world you can still find hiding there. It lays in wait for you, ho...

Loss Of Childhood Fables
Learning To Believe In The Impossible
In this article, I plan to touch on a subject that brings discord to both sides of the picture. For years, I have watched adults tear away at the enchantment of childhood, a childhood I hold very dear. It was a childhood of mystery, excitement and learning to dream and believe in the impossible. We had faith that, if we were good, we would be rewarded. I feel that this ability to believe in the impossible is a building block for children as they reach out with their minds, dreaming of a fut...

Counting Down to Christmas
A Countdown Page with Tips to Get Ready
This will be another difficult Christmas for many of us because of the stress and strain put on us by the economy. We can help, I think, by simplifying both our expectations and our celebrations. I hope that this lens will help you be less stressed and have a beautiful and enjoyable Christmas. I've never completely lost the sense of excitement and anticipation that accompanied my Midwest childhood Christmases. So I set up this lens to share those feelings and help take some of the stress out...

The Twelve Days of Christmas
Twelve Days of Christmas
From the first partridge in a pear tree, to the last twelve drummers drumming the gifts would be overflowing out the door! Twelve pear trees would be enough for a mini-orchard, or one for every house on my small block! Is that all that this popular if somewhat nonsensical carol is about? Please read on to find out more. The twelfth day, Epiphany, is a day onto itself and has a separate lens. Lens copyright 2008-2011, Marguerite Manor. All rights reserved.

Christmas Means to Me
I, like many others, can not help but feel a deep connection to God on and around Christmas. There is a certain excitement surrounded by warmth, love, and a feeling that all things are truly possible during this time for me. I do not really feel that God is necessarily closer at this time but more that my own focus is stronger than any other time of year. This of course makes me notice the little things that I have that I may not notice otherwise. My focus on this time is about how lucky I am...
