very strange. I suppose I can understand a Christian not wanting to celebrate the whole Santa Clause thingy, but not celebrate Christ's birth?
Like I said, since Christmas has pagan origins the whole thing is rotten to the core, regardless of any Christian trappings it may have (according to the Armstrongist BS).
My parents also subscribe to this unwritten rule: if the Bible is silent on a subject - in this case the celebration of Christ's birth - then its really opposed to it. This guides much of their POV on everything, from genetic manipulation to the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations and so on.
