Around the world, nearly two billion people celebrate Christmas each December 25, while at least 200 million others celebrate the birthday of Jesus Christ on January 7. However, there are also millions who choose not to celebrate Christmas at all. Why?

For one thing, they may belong to a religion that is not part of Christendom. They may be of the Jewish, Hindu, or Shinto faith, to name a few. Others, such as atheists, agnostics, freethinkers, or secular humanists, view the Christmas story as a myth.

Surprisingly, though, a sizable number of people who believe in Jesus reject the Yuletide traditions. Why? They point to at least four reasons.

2. Surprisingly, though, a sizable number of people who believe in Jesus reject the Yuletide traditions. Why? They point to at least four reasons.

1. The first group of people who celebrate the birthday of Jesus Christ whether on December 25, or January 7th, and any other day of the year for that matter, do so in sin against God, and this because Jesus Christ never instructed His followers to celebrate His Birthday or engage in any such in His name. The key is that His followers only engage in only that commanded by Him in His name..

2. Yuletide is a pagan holiday and ought to celebrated as such - without the name or Jesus Christ or God - appended to it in any way or form. God is against out celebrating , what He is against is our carrying out traditions not commanded by Him in His Name.

Why was the law made for man and not man for the law according to Jesus?

Thanksful:
Why was the law made for man and not man for the law according to Jesus?

God's Law was made for man to submit and obey, not the other way around. The Law is not for men to interpret/manipulate and do with as they please/choose.
