Should christians celebrate christmas?

Question

jesus didnt,he did not celebrate his birthday anywhere in the bible,only thing he did was weddings and we are to celebrate his death.

Answer 1

Look over half the people who celebrate Christmas barely believe in Christianity these people are people who have been raised and force to believe in this god that when they get older they slack off and they really don't give a c**p but regardless they say its there religion i find it kind of pathetic but thats just me      

Answer 2

I don't care... Christmas has been turned into a holiday wear people just give gifts and think about reindeer and fat people. Anything religious-like relating to Christmas no one cares about anymore. This is coming from a person not believing in the existence of God or Jesus. I am not against people who do believe in them. I just would like something to justify their existence before I begin to worship something that may not exist.

Answer 3

sorry on this we disagree there is absolutely no scripture preventing Christmas celebration even the tree part is in the bible God says I am a great fir tree placing a tree in your home is the same as wearing a cross pendant nothing wrong with making a statement to te world that you believe in Christ it is like being baptized just a public statement of your belief in Christ

how ever i do caution teach why we celebrate Christmas it is the day Christ was conceived the day He was sent to begin a lifelong odyssey that culminated in His resurrection and our salvation it is not santa

and by all means do not worship the tree worship God for what He did for us this day there is nothing absolutely nothing preventing celebrating Christ's arrival it is a joyous day and should be kept as such and what better way to keep a joyous day than to set aside time to have joyous celebration

btw Jesu never "celebrated" His death either but we do and should

Answer 4

Yes, christians should celebrate christmas, but not in the commerical way it is done. Christmas is suppose to be a mass for Christ. The whole Madison Avenue conception is so gross. Therefore I tend to celebrate Jesus Day as in a mass for Christ around December 25.

Answer 5

yes...  

Answer 6

why not !!

We rejoice because a Savior is born to the world.

Halleluia

Answer 7

Personally, I don't feel that it is wrong to choose and set aside a special day and time to acknowledge, and celebrate our Saviors birth with the spirit of thanksgiving,love and unselfish giving,  actually when we lie to our children about a santa claus, who comes down a hot soot filled chiminey with a bag of toys and goodies,  we take away the true meaning of a wonderful Christian celebration, this lie steals the true meaning of what the Christmas celebration is all about, I know a lot of people say that Christmas is for Children, and it is..However we should never teach them to celebrate Christmas without Christ. Yes, we must celebrate His death, and certainly His resurrection if nothing else.

Answer 8

yes.

any other answer than that is either coming from some lame-o trying to be smart and witty or people of other faiths who hate christians.
