		The Gospel of the feast is imbued with the spirit of Advent.
		Christmas is the Occidental celebration of the Nativity of the Lord, and the Epiphany is the Christmas of the Orient.
		At Christmas, we may be said to be reborn with Christ as the Sun of the Nativity rises over the town of Bethlehem; at the Epiphany, we celebrate the mystical wedding of the King with His Spouse, the Church: the glory of the Lord shines forth in noontide splendor over Jerusalem.

	Christmas Archives: In Search of the World's Christmas Spirit
		Christmas is the last of the great festivals still with us - because of the feelings of nostalgia it brings, not because of the amount of debt we run up, which will kill the goose which laid the golden egg eventually.
		Take Christmas out of the picture, and one will be left with the destruction of the last major festival that links an urban living population to the cycle of the seasons, and a stake in the health of the countryside.
		Christmas is desperately needed to encourage the gathering of families and to give time to reflect on the passage of the year.

	The Spirit of Christmas
		Our modern "Christmas" was invented over a short period of time during the 1800's, about 1810 to 1860, a period of fifty years.
		Christmas was a big catchall for almost all winter solstice festivals, including Roman, of course.
		Commercial Christmas presents were invented, Christmas cards were invented and Christmas trees were invented, all within a period of less than fifty years.

	The Lying Spirit of Christmas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The reason for the season is the deceiving, lying, spirit of Christmas and that spirit emanates as truth from Satan the devil, the father of all deception and lying, John 8:44, Eph.
		This merry-making, lying, spirit, originated from past, pagan, idolatrous "sun worship." Its celebration today continues to be set in the same sun-worship, idolatrous customs, but with the additional lie that Christmas is the time of Christ's unknown birthday, which preachers teach "christianizes" this unholy, pagan day.
		The lying spirit of Christmas produces a burden and a yoke, and the only way it can be lifted is by the conditions laid out by the True Christ, not the "antinomian christ of Christmas," Acts 3:18-20.

		If you think there's a "war" against Christmas, as some in the United States and other Western countries say, take heart: Christmas is alive and well in surprising places - among them several Muslim nations.
		One Christian country that still revels unabashedly in Christmas is Germany, even though it now has millions of Muslim residents.
		It was Germany where the first Christmas trees appeared in 1521 and where millions annually flock to the Christkindl (Christ child) Markets with their vast array of handicrafts and edible treats.

	Who Stole The Spirit Of Christmas
		Originally Christmas was all about Christians celebrating the birth of Jesus, now it has become a time where the kids are looking forward to seeing what Santa has left for them in their Christmas stockings and under the Christmas tree.
		Having said that, people do like to celebrate Christmas, it is a time for families, parties and celebrations, however, the costs involved are still a major factor of the celebrations.
		Christmas needs to be a time to put smiles on peoples faces, not to cause stress and difficulty in trying to keep up with all the costs put before them in order to enjoy, what should be a happy occasion.

		In the Spirit is an appropriate name for Michael McDonald's first Christmas album because the ghosts of the Doobie Brothers are all over it.
		No doubt the idea is to escape the clichéd treatments that others have given these timeless tunes, but as a result, they lose much of their natural beauty.
