However, the evidence of your truth is borne by the fact that paganism has re-captured Christmas for itself. Had the Holy Spirit created it, that could not happen. Since it was a pagan celebration from its beginning, it has merely gone home to roost.
"Put Christ back into Christmas?" Won't work--Christ was never in Christmas.
Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain. -- Psalm 127
Christ was never in Christmas ? ..... Luke 1:1-15 The Birth of Jesus
Why don't you people take your garbage to the non-Christian forums
I awoke this Christmas morning, as I usually do, before everyone else, and it has become a time that I spend with the Lord, and quite often, in this quietness, the Holy Spirit speaks to my heart. This morning was one of those mornings, and the Spirit spoke to me of the sadness in the fact that this morning brings much more thought to people's minds of gifts that they will be receiving, than the joy that could be held by individuals in thoughts of our Lord and Savior. I thought about the discrepancy of the date being wrong, (knowing that He was actually born in September), but there came a silence about that, as if the Holy Spirit knew that most don't even know or consider these things. There was a much stronger sense of the loss of knowing Jesus, and this is a rest for every day of the year. And then I realized that telling others about Jesus isn't nearly as important as for people to see Him reflected in our lives. And the only way that this can happen, is for us to give up our desires for His desires, and honor Him and put Him first in everything, and realize and thank Him for the hardships that He allows us to go through to hone us, sharpen us, and make us fit vessels that are transparent, and in this way the Lord can pour Himself through us to others. I saw how far I am from this mark and I see the light on the path to correcting this error.

"Christmas" is not even on the date of Jesus birth. Nothing about the date or the method of celebration or any of the festivities has anything to do with Christ, not a single aspect is scriptural. Christians did not even celebrate birthdays.
It's all a lie from the pit of hell, and you've bought and swallowed it whole.

You think Christmas is a lie from the pit of hell? Does that include celebrating it at church, on in the home. with family and friends? Presents? Little kids singing Christmas Carols? Candles? Cookies? Creches? Reading the Christmas story out of the Bible on Christmas Eve?
Are all those things a lie from the pit of hell? Are trees allowed or, since they have pagan roots, are those to be shunned as well? Or..... is just the date we celebrate it a lie from the (spooky music here)..... bad place.

Please define "all". Thanks.
Really. A celebration that makes one feel closer to Christ is from the pit of hell? These angry people so full of negativity and hatred toward others make me just shake my head.

It was!
Full of blessings and most definitely not from the pit of hell.

Reading scripture is okay. Everything else you mentioned is a lie from the pit of hell.
Why does it take anything more than the scriptures? Any addition to scripture is, indeed a lie from the pit of hell. Adding to scripture is precisely one of Satan's primary tactics.

Tell me a little bit about your life. Is every last thing you do that is pleasurable mentioned in the scriptures? Do you ever attend a movie or a concert? Probably not, since they are not mentioned in the scriptures. Do you ever participate in sports or watch sporting events? I doubt it, since to do so would obviously be believing in a lie that is from the pit of hell. Good grief, man. I never realized how many of you fanatics there are on this forum.
