In the last few days, I have read several comentary on why Christmas is not only deceptive but Idolatrous which has made leaders of some deniminations to call for its nonobservance. The reasons canvassed by this groups has made so many not to observe Christmas. Honestly speaking, I find myself inclined to the arguments of this persons while being of the opinion that despite its short commings, the 25th day of December should continously observed as the birthday of Jesus, remain a public holiday and be celebrated by all christians for the following reasons.

December 25th has been a day for centuries which Christians and other religious adherents use to exchange gifts. Not even the 14th of of february(valentine day) does gifts and foods exchange hands like Christmas day.

Christmas day also marks a period of unification when people travel far and wide to bond with family members.

Their is also an upsurge of commercial activities during the period leading to economic growth.

Dear Nairalanders, what do you think is good about Christmas for it to be continued.

We're coming..

In my humble opinion, for us workers, we would gladly accept any day as public holiday so we can have some rest. I mean...I am not muslim but I observe all eid celebrations so also muslims observe christmas.



In conclusion, if traditional worshippers bring their own day of celebration, we would gladly accept it and make it official. We need rest abeg
