I received a personal message on twitter by someone asking my take on celebration of Christmas. I took time in 1997 to study the origin of Christmas and the role Constantine played. As some of us may know, the origin of Christmas, could be traced to ancient
Rome. Christmas was a day for celebrating the Sun god. However, because Constantine was a Christian, the day was changed to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ after a long battle with the Roman native believers.. Prior to this time, professed Christians were slaughtered on the day of the sun god celebration. This was about 386 AD. Many people claim that Christmas should not be celebrated because it has links to roman gods in origin.If we must talk about origin, do you know that every day of the week is dedicated and named after a roman god? SUN day, MOON day, Tool sday,WODEN sday,THOR sday,FREYJA sday SATURN sday? all names of Pagan gods. We all use these days of the week, Sunday services we all attend has its origin from the Roman god. Whether Our Lord Jesus Christ was born on 25th December called Christmas day or not is immaterial to me. The most important thing is that a Saviour was born to salvage mankind from God's wrath .If Christ was not born, my life would have been miserable. Thank you Father for giving us Jesus Christ. "The earth is the lords and his fullness thereof." Everyday belongs to God including Christmas day. May I also state that culture and traditions have always been borrowed in history. That a land was used by pagans in the past doesn't stop Christians from building a church on the same land. What is the origin of birthdays? We all learnt to celebrate our birthdays because we grew up seeing people do it. The greatest gift is choice and that choice is to lead us into daring and innovative decisions to better our lives.
Above all, Christmas should be for those who know Christ because its about Him. If You don’t know Him and celebrate. You are probably celebrating something else.

Yes let's celebrate our myths. Someday there'll be Frodosday and Jon Snowsday.

Pathetic atheist. Who is stopping you celebrating such? You only know how to venge your frustration on Christians.
