Christmas has nothing to do with Jesus. It has its origin in Paganism. Tom-tom is sweet, but if you find it unwrapped in a garbage dump will you eat it?
It is Christmas not paganmas.

Jesus is the reason for the season!!!!!!!!!

My grouse against them is that they have not sent in my Christmas gift, and they have been avoiding me like a plague so I won't ask them.

20. We frequently abbreviate Christmas as X-mas because of ancient tradition. X is the Greek letter “chi” which is an abbreviation for the word “Christ” in Greek.
in maths we were taught to find what? X!!! X always indicate unknow, so here dey rili mean the UNKNOW MASS. I prefer saying happy Cmass!!! Even though it sounds sm hw. Bt better then X! Cos i knw who am celebrating.

10. Jesus Christ, son of Mary, was born in a cave, not in a wooden stable. Caves were used to keep animals in because of the intense heat. A large church is now built over the cave, and people can go down inside the cave. The carpenters of Jesus' day were really stone cutters. Wood was not used as widely as it is today. So whenever you see a Christmas nativity scene with a wooden stable that's the "American" version, not the Biblical one.

I don't believe this point one bit. Even in the days of Moses, over 1000 years before Christ was born, there were already carpenters with expertise in woodwork. Remember that the Ark of Covenant was made of wood. The tabernacle built by Moses had a lot of wood work. Even in the days of David and Solomon, the temple of Solomon had a lot of wood work. What about the ships that sailed on the sea (Mediterranean Sea) which brought precious stones in abundance for Solomon? Weren't they made of wood.
Bros that point in bold is fallacious.

We all love Christmas, but how much do any of us actually know about why Christmas is the way it is?

Christmas is the most beautiful holiday of the year. In fact, the entire month of December has a particular charm, meaning the end of one year, but also the start of another. Many people love this month due to the decorations that can be seen, as well as all around the cities(most especially the snowy cities). Most people enjoy decorating their homes, shops, offices, streets and seeing the Christmas spirit in everything, including decorations, clothing and accessories. Here we have some beautiful Christmas images, decoration from around the, and some facts we probably dont know about Christmas.


A little way of saying "Merry Xmas" to my Friends, Bros and Sis here. Wish you guys many more celebrations.

19. Despite having been at war with one another for five months, British and German troops in Ypres managed to arrange an unofficial ceasefire on Christmas Day, 1914. With no shots having been fired on Christmas morning, soldiers ventured out of their trenches into no-man’s land to recover their fallen comrades. A football was kicked out from a British trench, and so began perhaps the most famous football match of all time, altering the very course of world history, if only for a few hours, they decorated their shelters, and exchanged gifts.
This is beautiful smiley
