Genuine question this (and i'll lock it if it gets abusive) but what do you guys do at Christmas? Obviously you are unlikely to be working and presumably you and your family don't celebrate the festive season so just wondered how your break goes?
I know a minute amount about your beliefs so am not in a position to critisize or mock just curious.
Another more tactfull way would be to ask might be - what do they do at Christmas?

Anything you might do on a day off, when all the shops are closed that is.  Some get together, others just stick as a family.  I've got my little sister coming around later and am going to knock up a website for her piano tuition business that she's starting.

My wife did say she was going to do the books, but as yet hasn't got round to it.

Some will go door knocking (evangelizing), but not too early and at only houses where it looks like there's life.  Generally people this time of year are a little more receptive, some even want to chat at the front door to escape the family.

Funny thing about Christmas though.  How many people that celebrate it actually believe in Jesus, I ask this as the other day I was talking to a Hindu who doesn't believe in Jesus but was wrapping a Christmas present.

Oh the other thing jw wc do is check out ciu, sad hey.

Everything shuts down whether you take part in Christmas or not, so it is sensible to make the most of the free time that everyone has in common. just try organising a big family gathering in July :

[Niall McAllister]

Jehovah's Witnesses are Christians- followers of Crist.
Just trying to follow the teachings of the Bible as the world goes down hill.

OK. I made that up. All I did on Christmass day was wander round Cambridge. But wouldn't it be fun to have a sacrifice?

P.S Were not generally Jewish either

[RSWindows]

Peoples beliefs are a toutchey subject at best, i know the topic was not with any ill-intent but the talks on sacrafice could change that, lets tread carefully.

im quite intrigued to learn of others tbh

I'm not religous in the slightest. Don't particularly believe in Jesus, God or any other religous symbol ................




















But Santa's a different story 

Now he must be real cause he delivered everything I asked him for!!!

In my honest opinion religion gets in the way of Christmas; christ, they'll be saying the Easter Bunny isn't the true meaning of Easter next!!!

of course you are right about easter it is from the pagan fertility ritual.

[kevin James]

And Christmas was a ruse to get the pagans on board. 'Twas originally a festival to mark the return of the sun, shortest day and all that. In fact, as a wc, it lifts my spirits to see see the days getting longer! But no one knows when the greatest man who ever walked this earth was born. But if you guys find a date in the bible, the beers are on me.
