Should Christians Celebrate Christmas?

“Christmas was a Catholic Holiday, but not only a Catholic holiday. It is not known today in any way as isolated to Roman Catholicism. Some argue that the Protestants did not celebrate Christmas, but this is not true of all.” - P&D

NewPerhaps the best argument for Christmas...

Tue, 11/25/25

Actual link is here:

I can see deciding not to celebrate along the lines of Romans 14:5, but I've never seen a decent, intellectually coherent argument against celebrating the holiday. It is a hodge-podge of guilt by association, personal attacks, ignorance of the principal of causality, and a lot more. To be blunt, if I became aware of someone spreading this at my church, I'd begin a Matthew 18 process. To misrepresent that much data and evidence goes beyond the bounds of legitimate discussion and into the realm of sin, IMO.

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
