We all know that like all holidays Christmas is a copy of another Pagan holiday. But celebrating Jesus time of birth isn't biblical. No where in the bible say to celebrate it So why? Yes, he was brought gifts at his birth but again it's not biblical. So why??

I don't think it really hurts anyone if someone who has faith in Jesus wants to celebrate his birthday on a certain date.
I mean seriously, if you are not a believer, why don't you even care? BTW, I am not a Christian.

Unto you is born this day a savior which is Christ The Lord .....glory to God in the highest peace on earth and goodwill toward men.

Gods goodwill toward mankind should be celebrated and embraced.

It is a shame the hearts of men do not want it.

See there were three gifts from wise men ...... So why were these men wise? , it is because they did bring gifts , as you do not stand before God without a gift ........ So what is the big deal about Christmas ? ........ Christmas may not be legally biblical , but faith in God is not under the law , and Christmas is a celebration of the birth of the Saviour of anyone in the world who come into unity with God through this Jesus ....Jesus the Saviour has brought the power to over come the world which is full of sin , and if one would follow Jesus He will rise them up for eternal life ............. Jesus said if people cannot celebrate Christ then the stones will cry out

Because, it is fun. It is a yearly, anticipated time of baking, cooking and enjoying the company of family and friends. Because, looking at my tree with the lights and ornaments makes me happy.

We also celebrate St. Patrick's Day, too. That party has nothing to do with St. Patrick.

You name it we love to celebrate it.

Taco Tuesday.
Someone graduated.
Someone got a good report card.
It's five o'clock somewhere.


Fun is the F word hated by fundamentalist ideologues.
