I got in trouble in Sunday School when I put X-Mas instead of Christmas on a drawing assignment we were supposed to do. Oh if I could tell my old Sunday School Teacher now...

I just love what N.J. said we just stole the pagan's day right from under their noses. Christ will always be first and why not celebrated his birthday. Everybody has a birthday. Yes it may sound a little silly because they say cry at the coming in and laugh at the going out. See Christ has got it going on he is celebrated coimg in and going out. Hey we should celebrate every day because Christ came, he died and arose the third that we might have eternal life. So let celebrate Christ every day because without him we are all lost. So they got the seasons all mixed up. Some celebrate him at a different time so what. Just celebrate him. What othe man died for us and it meant anything. There are a lot of gang banger who have died for people but did it account for anything. NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dah I appreciate all the information.It was very interesting and I’ve learned a lot.

Christmas was a created holiday as Christ never celebrated his birthday. Romans were amongst the first to give way to the traditions of celebrating birthdays. Since the Catholic church was established in Rome the need to convince pagan worshippers to accept Christianity yet allow them to not give up their pagan beliefs of winter solstice and honoring the goddess of fertility (Oester) in Spring. Sadly Christianity made many compromises of true religious practice in order to maintain traditions of people refusing to give up their pagan roots. Where in the Bible is it written to honor Christ's birth and celebrate Christmas? He was of Jewish descent and did not partake in this practice. And where is it written in the Bible to give gifts to others for Christmas. People are going broke in thinking they are honoring Christ. The money of gifts would better serve the poor if one does choose to spend. The focus of Christ's humanity and the example of his goodness is lost in today's society. It would be pleasing to the Almighty God to serve others and honor His messengers versus the commericialism seen all over the world. I appreciate the information posted on this webpage and thank the contributors for helping me understand the term Merry Christmas. Jesus Christ was born late August early September.
