Christmas is a pagan holiday. It's a tradition commemorating the rebirth of the Sun God (Sol Invictus). It was so popularly celebrated throughout the ancient Roman Empire that Catholics felt that it was appropriate to make the birthdate the birth of Christ Jesus. However, there is no verse in The Bible that proves that December 25 is the birthdate of Christ Jesus. It is true that Christ Jesus was exalted by God to the highest place; He was given the name that is above every name (cf. Philippians 2:9-11). However, pagan practices are an abomination in the eyes of the Lord. Therefore, a true Christian avoids pagan traditions, such as Christmas.
