In Germany we say Weinachten, a word with pagan roots. But even that doesn't stop the political correct from demanding to rename it into Lichterfest (festival of lights) or Winterfest (festival of wintertime).

Most people are aware of the ancient story about the birth, purpose, and legacy of Jesus Christ whether they believe God sent Him or not.

Santa Claus also has a long history. St. Nicholas was a church Bishop in the 4th century in Asia. He was born wealthy and began giving secret gifts to needy people. As his secret was discovered, anyone receiving a secret gift attributed it to the good works of St. Nicholas. The evolution of the name St. Nicholas includes Father Christmas, Old Man Christmas, Kris Kringle, and Sinterklaas or as we now say, 'Santa Claus'!

Both the biblical story of the wise men bringing gifts to baby Jesus and the stories of St. Nicholas' secret gifts give us a warm feeling about the joy and symbology of gift-giving as an act of love.

There is a simple answer to this problem that was discovered millieneum before: safe spaces. Yes, people need to move where they feel safe. If you don't like Christmas, there are plenty of safe places where Christmas is not celebrated.

Here, however, we love Christmas. Merry Christmas!

God looks upon the hearts of man. He knows those who worship him in spirit and in truth, as well as those who don't. Of course, if we celebrated Christ's true birthday, the Jew haters here would blow a gasket since He was actually most likely born on Rosh Hashana.

Thank you for this. The struggle is real, I have felt guilt celebrating Babylonian/Roman deceptions. Your post has helped me see the Heart of the Matter - all days belong to the Lord, and if this day glorifies Him in the minds and hearts of our Nation, then it is well.

May God be with us as we give our selves over to the joy of the birth of our Lord. God bless, Patriots.

As a kid I heard all the "it's a pagan holiday" stuff. Asked my pastor about it. He said, "Remember Deut. 30, God can use evil for good. It doesn't matter what pagans did. Pagans were actually just the common people. They weren't necessarily satan worshippers. They lived in their world and celebrated as their traditions dictated." What I got from our discussion is that if we have a tradition as Christians to remember the story of Christ on a certain day, we should go for it. Pagans can claim every holiday because Pagans came before Christians appeared. So what? That's like saying I can't celebrate our Country's birthday on the 4th of July because there were other people born on that day. Who cares?! Do what makes you happy. Celebrate traditions and the Love that surpasses all understanding.

Merry Christmas anons!

The most irritating shit I see a lot of is "real christians dont celebrate Christmas because PAGAN" shit, which I am pretty sure is another Jew psy-op. Intent matters. I am not celebrating any false gods even if Christmas lands on a date that they used to be celebrated on. I am celebrating our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Logical fallacy: false equivalency. We have no idea what the actual date of Christ's birth is. The early Church choose a day that had significance to those they wished to convert and "baptised" it by showing how Christ's incarnation was the true Light entering the world (as opposed to the pagan belief of the return of the light at solstice). Your fallacious "counter-argument" is merely vile and vulgar and proves nothing.

Folks like that irritate me too. I want to ask them what they call the days of the week...

The commercialism is obnoxious, the traditions (even if pagan) the feeling in the air, that little bit of extra good cheer, and the time with family are wonderful.

Merry Christmas!
