I'm not much into christianized pagan holydays, but the new look is rather nice, as xmas themes go.

Christianized pagan holiday? I see some angels appearing to herald in the new born Christ child. If that is what the star in the sky is. How is this a Christianized pagan holiday?

Actually I didn't even notice so much the star. I saw Angels heralding. My first thought before noticing the star they were heralding in the 2nd coming of Christ. I guess we can see what we want into the picture. I think the picture is beautiful and adds a wonderful touch to the site.

Pam I'm with you. I didn't even notice the star. When someone said something about it being a Christmas theme for the site, I thought, "What? This is just the new look!" Then I looked a little closer...silly me.

The days the Lord gave us to observe speak of the 1st and 2nd Comings of Christ and are actually in the scriptures.

Okay this thread is about the new look. Let's keep it on topic. This thread is not to debate whether one thinks Christmas is a pagan holiday or not.

At first I had to look twice to make sure I was on the right forum. I wasn't expecting black, but I like it.

Angels! I like that. When I first viewed it, thought maybe the ladies were sister wives....
