rebel: What bible event relates to decorating your house with Christmas trees/Santas and exchanging Christmas presents? Which bible event is that? Where does the bible mention doing such things? There is no bible event with decorating your house with Christmas trees....I never said it did. Or with Santa. That Christmas presents were like when the wise men brought gifts to the baby Jesus.

The birth of Jesus Christ is not pagan.
The history about the 25th of December is deep - pagan history - fact
Jesus was not born on 25th December - fact
If you really knew the depth where this runs would you believe that Jesus is God?

Do you decorate your house with eggs, chicks, or bunnies? NO
How about a Christmas tree, YES Santas, YES or yule logs NO?
Do you exchange Easter baskets NO or Christmas presents YES?
Do you eat egg bread or other Easter-related foods NO I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS EASTER FOOD? WHAT WE EAT ON FRIDAY IS PROVISION AND FISH.
Do you send Easter greeting cards NO? Do you use the word "Easter" to refer to a special day you celebrate YES AND NO?
Do you listen to holiday music that mentions the above items AT EASTER GOSPEL MUSIC, YES CHRISTMAS SONGS?
If the answer to any of those questions is yes, you are doing things that originated with pagans NO, WHAT I CELEBRATE IS CONCERNING BIBLE EVENTS NOT PAGANISM.
Now the question I'd ask is, who cares?I DO Why does it matter what things symbolize to others if they symbolize something good to you? BECAUSE WHAT THE EYE CANNOT SEE THE SPIRIT OF GOD CAN PS--"crossing out Jesus" is something I see routinely on church billboards. is that where you got this idea from NO. BIBLE FULL GOSPEL CHRISTIANS DO NOT TOLERATE THE DEGRADING OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST? hibiscusfire

Hibiscus with all respect, you have spent the how many pages and posts now focusing on the word and not the meaning? Christmas/X-mas has been "mocked" enough in this thread, leave it alone.
I was referring to Christmas and not Xmas.

YOU PEOPLE SHOULD GO BACK TO BEING JW's BECAUSE YOU CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS WITHOUT A REASON EXCEPT TO STUFF YOUR GUTS AND RECEIVE GIFTS.
YOU BELIEVE IN SANTA CLAUS AND HE IS NOT EVEN THE REASON FOR CHRISTMAS. HE'S NOT EVEN REAL.
IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHY YOU CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS THEN DON'T CELEBRATE IT!!!!! YOU DON'T KNOW THE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS!!!!

The word 'X-mas' : Professing yourselves wise you become fools.
1. The X is not an English letter, but Greek. Then "mas" should be in greek too.
2. The "X" is the Greek letter "Chi" and is equal to a "CH" in English letters. Where does "R I S T" come in???? So you've got CHmas...Geez...What is CH???? chooo chooooo train????
3. We make a mockery out of Christmas when we don't practice the spirit and meaning of Christmas every day. We make a mockery out of Christmas when we focus on the word and not on the meaning. We make a mockery out of Christmas when we don't care enough to know the story as printed in the Bible. When we don't care enough to pass the story on correctly. When we don't care enough to make a connection between Christ and our gift giving. When we make Santa Claus the spirit of Christmas, leaving out any connection to Christ, the true spirit of Christmas.

ithink:
Children Xing = Children CROSS-ing
X = Cross
That does not apply here. We are talking about something that is very serious.
