What is Christmas?

I found this while just flipping through some random blogs. I think there's some truth to both sides. (Aside: it's amazing how many useless blogs are out there . . . oh wait, this is one of them).


Insight of the Day
Upon passing a church sign that read "Christmas without Christ equals materialism" a 17-year-old "guy I know" said: "Uhhh, NO... Christmas without is just 'mass'."
Asked to explain what he meant, he said, "Christmas empty of Jesus leaves you with an empty ritual, completely unsatifying to anyone, like church without real worship."

So there, he said it.
