Why Do You Celebrate Christmas? by Adeling(m): 6:57am On Dec 25, 2022
Yes. Why do you celebrate Christmas?
For some, Christmas is the time to fornicate, take hard drugs, go clubing and do all manner of evil just because they want to "celebrate". The true essence of Christmas has no meaning to a lot of so-called christians.

Some even ask for gifts, as if, they're the reason for Christmas. Christmas's ought to be the time of thanks giving. The time of appreciation to God in purity and holiness. While, some call Christmas Xmass. I've heard people say Christmas is for children. How pathetic!

We've bastardize the true essence of Christmas and turned it to a party-scartter bruhaha. We celebrate Christmas to intimidate , and mock those who we feel don't have as much as we. A lot of folks will be very unhappy just because they couldn't afford chicken, or bag of rice as if that is the reason to celebrate.

So I ask again, why do you celebrate Christmas?

It is a pagan holiday for exchanging gifts, filling one's stomach ---- celebrating our freedoms -- and remembering others while you are at it. How could you claim it has been bastardized when we do pretty much what we are to --- celebrate freely --- during the holiday? undecided

Merry Christmas to everyone. My people you may not believe it, but it's true. As at today being Christmas , I don't have a cup of rice to eat. Even pure water for me and my three kids and their mother. None. Hmmmmmmmm.

It reminds me of my wonderful childhood memories; eating jollof rice in our house filled with other children, drinking Coke, dad usually take us out to amusement parks, etc. cheesy cheesy

Now that I've become a father, I've realized how important Christmas is to children. My children have been jumping about the house happily because of the Christmas chickens their mum bought (feeding it and playing with it). They have been dragging the Christmas tree and light as well. For me, that's priceless! cheesy cheesy

PS- I'm a staunch muslim.

The term Pagan is used to refer to anything that does not originate from God Himself or Jesus Christ. So long as God never commanded it, it is Pagan no matter how you attempt to slice and dice it. undecided

Some pathetic Muslims are already here crying same people would go to Mohammed Sallah page and tell him he is celebrating Jesus Christ of christians.

There is no such thing as a pagan date, God created all days including December 25th.

All over the world people recognise Christmas as the birth of Christ that's what the official meaning translate.

You can't rewrite history just as you use the Gregorian Christian calendar and it's history

Children of pagans hiding under Christianity to blackmail Jesus with xmas.
Neither Jesus non of his disciples or early Christians ever celebrate xmas.

keep shut Abdul

Mohamed birthday no reach half of Christmas so we know where your salt tears is coming from

Jesus was heralded as a king on his birth, we worship him in songs, hymns, dance, keeping Sabbath.

Any date that would further be set aside by the world to honour him is all acts of glorification when done genuinely

Sure he deserves glory

In Matthew 21 Jesus exemplified this in his triumphant entry

He asked people to go get a donkey for him to ride specially on, Jesus was never shy from flamboyant honour and worship in the highest form

The world honouring him with a day is nothing

Again answer me, Did Jesus command the flamboyant Triumphant entry in Jerusalem?

Lol, Abdul have just been bursted, never knew Jesus required flamboyant honour

Now let me answer your ignorance since you agree Jesus commanded the triumphant entry

We don't think the way ignorant Muslims who have no book except copy paste Bible do

Jesus demanded honour which is the key lesson from the triumphant entry that he approved.

The first 10 commandent says you shall honour the Lord your God

Honour isn't stiff, just as we christians are commanded to serve the Lord with all our body, and soul that is how honour is all encompassing

Same Jesus commanded us to do all his lessons in his remembrance eg the Holy communion.

I hope you can learn and clean your salty tears as the biggest day in the world honours Jesus again just like the calendar you use testify to his honour
