True Christians do not celebrate Christmas.
(1 Corinthians 15:33) Do not be misled. Bad associations spoil useful habits.

There is no pagan celebration associated with the 25th day of December. Originally, the 25th day of the tenth month (Dece= 10) was the beginning of Hanuka. Hardly a pagan day.
Jesus commanded that people quit judging according to appearance, and judge righteous judgment. Seeing as you are judging according to appearance, it begs the conclusion you are not a true follower of Christ.

Are you attempting to sound like a JW? That being said I had this discussion years ago with a friend of mine who joined the Kingdom Hall. He gave me this pamphlet that basically said what you just said, adding that "How would you feel if people celebrated your birthday NOT on the actual day it occurred but instead on the birthday (feast day) of your worst enemy?" (I assume that they were referring to the pagan Saturnalia festival).
My response: In my all-knowing wisdom, I am well aware that society does not know the actual date of my birth yet those who are my followers wish to honor me with a birthday celebration just the same. Okay they don't know the exact date yet they are going to take what used to be my sworn enemy's feast day and REPLACE IT by HONORING ME INSTEAD OF MY SWORN ENEMY! Well HALLELUJIA my sworn enemy has just been ousted and now I am being honored instead of my sworn enemy! That makes me feel really good, actually!
Nice try though.

they do no longer rejoice "pagan" holiday trips. no person is familiar with whilst the Lord Jesus became born and maximum Christians interior the west "traditionally" rejoice the delivery of Christ on December twenty 5th. Easter, whilst the call would come from the spring competition worship of Ishtar is "resurrection Sunday" to Christians who rejoice the Lord Jesus growing to be from the ineffective after 3 days. with the intention to rejoice a "pagan holiday" one would desire to be surely interior the state of innovations of celebrating a pagan holiday. Having a similar day or similarity in names capacity no longer something. Origins for how the holiday got here approximately interior the previous have no longer something to do with what a individual right this moment is surely doing.

Sound like you could use some holiday cheer. But your right, nothing in God's word points to this very commercial festival. It's all about the economy.

My teacher use to tell me "there is no such thing as a dumb question" you just proven her wrong. Jesus knows where peoples heart are.
Everyone will have there day of judgement.
You are like that kid that keep telling his parents " you need to spake brother and sister" then you get a spaking. Don't tell God how to be God.

(Matthew 7:21-23) . . .Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will. 22 Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name?’ 23 And yet then I will confess to them: I never knew YOU! Get away from me, YOU workers of lawlessness.
