Would you convert to juadism for extra presents?
Christians only get one present for one day of the holiday season, but if your jewish you get eight for each day of hanuka or eight days. Hey if their are twelve days of Christmas who really should be getting more presents? But where do the twelve days of Christmas come from if Christians only really celebrate one day? So what Religion should you covert to get the most presents?

I believe you have missed the whole point of what Christmas is really about.It is not about material riches or gain, but rather spiritual gifts,and blessings.Have you counted your blessings lately.Oh, you say you don't have any.Watch the evening news and see what is going on around the world and think of how fortunate you are that God chose to put you where you are.I count my blessings every day.For example, my health, my children's health, my job,the fact that I live where I do (Canada),my wife, my friends,etc. etc.Are you starting to get it?
Viv, always remember, no matter how bad you think you've got it,you don't have to look very far to realize that there is someone else who has got it a lot worse than you.That my dear friend is a FACT! A word to the wise is sufficient.Merry Christmas to you and yours this holiday season.

The holy books of all faiths have been translated over thousands of years by the governments of the world or their agents, example schools universities and or other government departments, they have then been approved by a panel printed and distributed by these departments, past governments are no more to be trusted than the now governments, such books are used to manipulate the people or followers, they are to control not to teach, if you was to read the bible as say a legal type person you would ask, if adam and eve was created by god in his image ( genetically engineering) and they had two sons (clones), were did they go and begat wives from as stated in the bible, as these so called holy books have been put in place to control people and not to teach the truth, to answer you question I would say join all the religions and get 28 presents a year, and by the way the twelfth day of Christmas is when the three kings came and gave presents which is what is celebrated in spain 3 kings night the 6th January.
This is exactly what is wrong with the world today:
You are wondering which religion will give you the most material goods, and can't see that religion is meant to do the opposite-- to make u less materialistic and to bring you closer to God.
Even though I am a Muslim, i love the christmas season because it has a nice nostalgic feeling to it, and it used to bring out the best in people. But I notice that every year it gets more materialist and about the presents... and less about the important things.
Morals and dogma aside...It would be most prudent to have Christian and Jewish celebrations, and you could try to throw in Kwanzaa, Mainly it would depend on the people in your life as to which holiday celebration you would receive gifts from. Try finding relatives that have family of different religions and ensure you are around for the holidays, your 'base' religion is your families main one and you can guarantee gifts in that religious celebration so you would need to diversify in order to maximize gift receivables.
I'm already Jewish and I do not give anyone presents, except my wife. She gets them 24/7
lol No, I worked out my salvation a long time ago. :)
No. Religion is serious.
What are worldly possessions, when one has God?
