Reply:None of The Above.


Christmas and all the traditions involved have nothing to do with the Christ. It isn't his birthday, not even the same time of year when he WAS born.


It's all about calling people Christian who want to keep and practice all the 'fun' things from the pagan religions they were 'supposedly' converted from.


True Christians don't celebrate things that are in contradiction to the Bible.





Romans 10:2 For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God; but not according to accurate knowledge; 3 for, because of not knowing the righteousness of God but seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.
