∙ 12y agoChristmas was first started as a celebration that fell inline with the Pagan Roman festival of Saturnalia. It was adopted by many unbelievers as the birthday of Jesus, even though the scriptures point to his birthday being some time in the Fall, and was incorporated into Church teachings in an attempt to water down the Pagan history of the celebration.
Interestingly, there is no record that Jesus observed or celebrated his own birthday.
Since the word "Christian" is defined as "Christ-like" as in imitating Christ, or behaving in the same manner as he, a true Christian would never celebrate a holiday such as Christmas that would bring shame and dishonor to his name.
Therefore, if a religion celebrates Christmas, they wouldn't be considered Christian.
