Should we ignore the day altogether, or can we use it as an entrance to the hearts of those who don’t know Him. People Are more receptive and kinder during this time.
It was a Jewish custom that a person was conceived on the day they died so death around the 25th of March puts birth at Dec 25. Pagan holiday was Dec 21st. Also there is archeological evidence of earlier celebrations of Christ's birth at Dec 25 way earlier than Constantine
God says: "If you love Me, keep My commandments". Our Lord and Saviour was not born on Dec. 25th and by affirming that he was, you are breaking the 9th commandment. "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour." God expects us to be truthful and honest.
The idea that Christmas is pagan actually comes from die-hard Protestant fundamentalists in the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries. In those centuries, many Protestants regarded holidays like Christmas and Easter as “popery” and therefore sought to discredit them by linking them with ancient paganism. The idea that Christmas might be pagan was advanced as early as 1648 in the work Certain Queries Touching the Rise and Observation of Christmas, written by the Puritan Joseph Heming. Later fundamentalist preachers/writers really took the idea and ran with it. Perhaps the most difficult aspect of researching these various origins, traditions, and assumed ‘truths’ about holidays, is sifting through all the data and separating what is historical fact from the myth, legend, and, even, religious propaganda by some denominations of what is historical fiction. It’s not an easy task. Indeed, what makes this even more difficult, is that so many of these ‘’facts”, suppositions, and assumptions are so ill-researched and have been repeated for so long, that they have essentially become accepted as truth. One can find these asserted ‘facts’ in everything ranging from various educational websites to entries in dictionaries and encyclopedias, and even in (some) scholarly articles which, I think, only makes researching the actual origins quite difficult. People are most often times just repeating what they’ve been told and assume it to be true without question. But what we find after close examination and scrutiny, is that the accepted origins and traditions of holidays come from the latter (historical fiction), rather than the former (historical fact). The end result is that our holidays are nowhere near as “pagan” as some would like us to believe. When we celebrate Christmas (and other holidays as well), we are definitely participating in a tradition with deep historical roots. But those roots are firmly situated in an early and medieval Christian past, not an ancient pagan one.
Here is what I become to believe about a Christmas tree first the topper the decoration we put on the very tip top of the tree it usually is an angel to represent the angel that went to the shepherds at night stating behold a savior is born or you put a star on top which represents the Star of Bethlehem that shine down upon Jesus Christ when he was born also the tree do you realize that we use the tree that never dies you know in Winter how trees lose their leaves and die and then grow new leaves in the spring will we use a tree that never dies is Jesus Christ never dies you everlasting and finally the presents we placed under the Christmas tree is gifts because we can't give to Jesus we give to each other we give presents to our loved ones is Jesus gave to us so having a Christmas tree is not paganism on Christmas Eve I watch Jesus of Nazareth every year we have done this as a family tradition to remember Jesus was born not in December I was told the reason why we celebrate Christmas in December is because when they form the calendar they had too many holidays in the spring summer and fall and they had no holidays in the winter up to the springso they figured of balancing it out having some holidays in the winter as well and that is why we celebrate Jesus being born on December 25th instead of around the fall when they predict that he was possibly born which was around the time of the Passover and and going to the senses where the Romans take account of how many people there are
Thanks for sharing🎉

Yeshua was born on the first of April,
Do not follow the pagan church, “the Roman Catholic Church”

I don't celebrate Dec 25 as they said it's Christmas day as it's not in the Bible...
So assuming you also don't celebrate the Fourth of July, Labor Day, Veterans Day, etc.
no
Don’t celebrate Easter, neither, celebrate the PASSOVER.
All roads leads to Rome🤣🤣🤣
Respect the decision of others. Too bad a lot of demoncrats don’t feel that way.
