Christmas was naturally separated to be a day to celebrate Christ birth (December 25th or not doesn't matter, it's the intention).

Along the line it has become also a cultural event too so that's where santa Claus and the tree comes in.

All these doesn't matter, what matters is that it is a date set aside to remember Christ birth.

One way or the other
Since when have our faith in God has to do with what we think it's right? If the Bible is silent about it, then it should be disregarded.

What happened to the temple and pple of jerusalem? When we fail to seperate the world from the church that is what will happened. God is nt interested in sacrifice of bull, cow and chicken. It is obedience.
I don't see any fuss if the people say they want to honour God with a day of remembrance.

Must everything be scripted, when the Israelites asked Samuel for a king God obliged them.

When they asked for food God obliged them in the wilderness.

When the woman burst open her alabaster box and poured all her oil on Christ, the people said it wasn't scripted but Jesus said approved it because it was a part of the woman way of regarding him

Firstly, Jesus wasn't born on December 25. Secondly, Santa Claus is a pagan entity added to Christmas celebrations.

The night Jesus was born, it is recorded that Shepherds where outside with their flock of sheep, this couldn't have happened on December 25 that everywhere is very cold at Night in Israel.

Santa Claus was Saint Nicholas. The name is gotten from Sinter Klaas, the Dutch short form of Sint Nikolaas.

He was a man who loved children and was very kind and generous to them. There's a story that he saved three girls from being sold into slavery or prostitution by their father, by paying their dowry so they could marry.

His day of celebration is December 6th, which is the day he died. I think people just joined it with Christmas since it is so close to Christmas anyway.

It was foretold in the bible that a time will come pple will no longer like to hear the truth. Some group of powerful roman catholic decided to change times and seasons under the pretence of christianity. 25th of decemeber is yuletide. Most christians are aware of this fact but they are turning blind just for the goodies n booties. Christianity demand sincerety and truth but most christians chose ignorance n lies

They will be like no, its just a day we picked. There's nothing wrong with it. But there's everything wrong with it. Everytime anyone says Jesus was born on Christmas day, they are lieing and they spread this lie even sing it and celebrate it. Suddenly lieing becomes acceptable and not a sin once every year, just because we all decided it is so. SMH

Jesus as a name itself, is a transliterated version of the original. In Hebrew form, both Jesus and Joshua are one and the same name. Though, Joshua is very close in pronunciation to the original name than Jesus, they mean the same thing, "Yahweh is salvation".
So in actual sense, Nigerians do name their children, Jesus.

is it not funny that santa claus is the symbol of christmas,he's the one who shares gifts to children and everybody wants to dress like him on a day set aside for jesus birthday grin

Santa claus is not for Christmas day but the eve of Christmas.

Santa claus is also st nicholas, a Christian figure who bring gifts to well behaved children on Christmas eve not on Christmas day.

The main aim of santa claus is to make children well behaved so that they can get gifts

Did any of those people sin when honoring God? You know Jesus wasn't born on December 25th yet you tell people he is. Your kids too and you all sing that Jesus Christ was born on Christmas day song. All because you want to celebrate. If you want to celebrate celebrate but throwing in a lie in there is not how you honor anyone.

So santa claus is now christian? God oblige them but he told them what we follow it. Be xtremely afraid when God gives you his permissive will
Re: What Is The Role Of Santa Claus In Christianity And Christmas? by Nobody: 9:17am On Dec 20, 2020
Why do people hate christianity or religion alot, when they are the bedrock of civilization, they brought everything we are enjoying today.

Santa claus, also known as st nicholas, was a Christian figure who bring gifts to well behaved children on Christmas eve.

Children books authors and Hollywood made the character very popular.

The role of santa claus in christianity is to make children well behaved so that they can receive gifts.
