The angels celebrated His birth, the wise men came to see the King. I am neither, and have had misgivings about what this holiday has become to pagans. What effect would it have on our witness if we boycotted buying gifts for Christmas and gave to the poor, the widows, and the orphans? There are 45 million orphans in Africa. We could tell people the reason He came in the first place, to save them from materialism.
