What Is The True Meaning of Christmas?

Simple fact is that Jesus and christianity have nothing to do with christmas at all!!

The ancient European pagans celebrated the midwinter festival and a number of other festivals long before Christianity ever existed!

Babylonians celebrated the feast of the Son of Isis with gluttonous eating and drinking, and gift giving and the goddess of fertility, love, and war.

The Romans held a festival on 25 December called “Dies Natalis Solis Invicti, celebrating their own god Sol Invictas - PAGAN.

The Persian god Mithras, the Syrian sun god Elah Gabal, the German Sol, the Greek Helios and the Mesopotamian Shamash. But also Saturnalia, honouring Saturn, the God of Agriculture. The law courts and schools were closed. No public business could be transacted an this is where the holidays originated - ALL PAGAN!!!

Wax tapers were given by the more humble to their superiors. The origin of the Christmas candle - PAGAN!!

In Rome groups of costumed went from house to house entertaining their people. And this was where the carolling Christmas tradition originated PAGAN!!

Statues of the Mother and lover or Mother and son were paraded through the streets not only in Italy but also in Africa, Spain, Portugal, France, Germany and Bulgaria. Thus, the symbolism of the Heavenly Virgin and the infant child paraded on a yearly basis are not of Christian origin. They stem from the Mother-goddess religion, which is very ancient ENTIRELY PAGAN!!.

Scandinavian countries celebrated Yule honouring Thor - PAGAN.

In Germania (not Germany) they celebrated midwinter night followed by 12 wild nights of eating and drinking. The 12 days of Christmas PAGAN!!

The church under Pope Julius I declared that Christ’s birth would be celebrated on December 25 in 350 AD in order to try to hijack the PAGAN festivals but it was largely ignored. Christians did not really celebrate Christmas until 378 but it was then dropped in 381 and not resurrected until 400.

The Christmas tree stems from pagan tradition and ritual surrounding the Winter Solstice, which included the use of holly boughs ivy and other foliage as an adaptation of pagan tree worship. Holly and ivy represented male and female. Mistletoe was considered a sacred plant, and the custom of kissing under the mistletoe began as a fertility ritual - all PAGAN!!

Santa Claus came from the Dutch “Sinterklaas” and was a tall figure riding a white horse through the air and usually accompanied by Black Peter, an elf who punished disobedient children. Also the origin of the reindeer, sleigh and the elves ALL PAGAN!!

America actually banned Christmas several times and is the originator of the expression “Happy Holidays” which came about because of the pagan origins of Christmas to include all religions and traditions!!

No we fit christmas into Jesus Christ he was born on this day that's why we celebrate. Jesus first Christmas second

Jesus Christ was born on Christmas day. And that is why we celebrate it (or should).

And shepherds were keeping watch on their flocks in cold night when and angel appeared to them and said"Fear not for I bring you tidings of great joy.For born this day in the city of David is the savior Christ the lord.And it shall be a sign unto you.A star will appear in the east."The shepherds followed the light and it shown down on the stable where he was born.Upon seeing him they fell to their knees and worshiped him.At that same time Herod who was a king of that land heard of the coming of the savior and wanted him killed.So he said to some wise men to go and find this savior and tell him where he might be so he can go and worship him also.The three wise men were visited by an angel that told them of the kings intention to kill the savior so they not wanting to get in trouble with the king found another way back after they went to see the newborn babe in the manger.They brought him costly Oils,Frankencence and Myrrh all put up in gold boxes and bottles.They too fell down and worshiped him.It was a special night for them because they actually got to see he for themselves.If it had been me I would have been in awe too ! After all it isn't everyday that a savior is born.But we celebrate it every year and have done so since his birth.

For unto us a child is born.Unto us a son is given.And his name shall be called.Wonderful,Marvelous,The mighty God,The everlasting Father,The prince of peace.
