I CAN’T THINK OF ANYTHING MORE PLEASING TO CHRIST THAN THE CHURCH CELEBRATING HIS BIRTHDAY EVERY YEAR.—R.C. SPROUL

"I wish we had more annual festivals. The Roman Catholic Church, for example, celebrates with great joy the Feast of the Ascension every year. Some Protestant bodies do, but most do not. I wish we would celebrate that great event in the life of Christ when he was raised up into heaven to be crowned King of kings and Lord of lords. We celebrate his birth; we celebrate his death. I wish we would also celebrate his coronation." —R.C. SPROUL

Someone that was saved shared the gospel with you, so we shouldn’t be ashamed of doing the same for others that are lost. All this bickering here over the semantics about Christmas day about that day not being the actual day Jesus Christ was born or other such arguments are just other forms of legalism that gives you an excuse to keep your mouth shut at this time of year thinking you are doing a service for God. So think about it, what are you really ashamed of this Christmas, the day or event or both to not want to celebrate Christmas with other Christians?

Don't forget the real reason for the REAL reason for the season!!!

Therefore, we should NOT be celebrating Santa Claus’s or Kris Kringle’s birthday the same day as we do Jesus Christ, because he is the Counterfeit version of Jesus. Santa Claus should be observed on his own given day on Dec. 31/Jan.1st, since that is the last day of the holiday season known as New Year’s eve and day. So when someone says Happy Holiday’s they would then be referring to Santa Claus and when they say “Merry Christmas� they would be referring to Jesus Christ.
