Christmas is full of tradition! Do you know where these traditions came from? Most of them are rooted in a pagan religion around the winter solstice feast on Dec 25th. Jesus was most likely not born on Dec 25th... Humans attached the celebration of his birth on the winter solstice. Most of the bells, decorations, and even the Christmas tree have pagan roots. So... Should we celebrate Christmas? Join Myron Jellison and Kalyn Hines in the Shanty Studio.

Christmas has become so commercialized that it's easy to lose sight of its true meaning. As Christian parents, it's our responsibility to keep Christ at the center of this season while raising our little ones.

Karl Rahner (1904-1984) was one of the most influential Catholic philosophers and theologians of the mid to late twentieth century. A member of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) and a Roman Catholic priest, Rahner, as was the custom of the time, studied scholastic philosophy, Rahner's philosophy posited that the dynamic thrust of the knowing mind understands the being-most-irreducible as God and the unity of being and spirit in knowing. The Absolute or God is implicitly and intrinsically affirmed in the dynamic of every act of knowing. Rahner maintained that the fulfillment of human existence consists in receiving God's self-communication, and that the human being is actually constituted by this divine self-communication. He identifies grace with the self-communication of God. For Rahner, the human being is intrinsically open to God or the Absolute. It is necessarily the receptacle of revelation. In Rahner's view, even if God or the Absolute remains utterly silent and completely hidden that silence and hiddenness, are, in fact, revelations. Revelation, however, does not resolve the Mystery; it increases cognizance of God's incomprehensibility. Experiences of the mystery of themselves point people to the Absolute Mystery, "an always-ever-greater Mystery." https://iep.utm.edu/rahner/ _____________________________________________

I wasn't going to touch the Christmas convo this year because I didn't want to deal with the "you're going to hell" comments for being in favor of the holiday, but ALSO because I've honestly been wrestling with this myself the past couple of months!! But I was praying on it this past weekend and God told me that there are MANY wrestling with this subject, and that it's okay to come at this from a place of vulnerability rather than authority... So, there's a lot to talk about! And I really want to address this from every angle, to lay out fact v fiction, explore the Scriptures, and allow us to test the spirits together.       Some of the things I'll get into...       -the debated pagan origins       -defining what exactly "celebration" is       -Jeremiah 10...............in context lol       -glorifying Jesus over tradition       -the HARD no's (Santa, magic, elves etc.)       -God's biblical holidays       -the "Jesus doesn't say to celebrate His birth" argument       -idolatry       -pros/cons of celebrating Christmas       — Angela's Instagram: @angelamariescafidi       — Ways to Support the Show:

Should Christians celebrate Christmas? Christmas has so many elements that originate from Pagan traditions. Does this mean we shouldn't participate in the traditions or celebrations? Should we let kids believe in Santa Clause? Should we have pine tree's in our houses? Should we hang ornaments and lights? Jesus was most likely not even born on Dec 25th... so why do we celebrate his birthday not on his actual birthday? There are a lot of questions around Christmas...
