goggles Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 You mean celebrating the birth of Jesus. Plus the Christian Bible also includes the old testament why shouldn't it? Jesus wasn't born on Christmas day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milquetoast1 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Jesus wasn't born on Christmas day. If Jesus did exist, and he was who Christians claim he was, then I would say that he was born on Christmas day. It wasn't the 25th December of course.

RootsBooster Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 You mean celebrating the birth of Jesus That's what it was eventually introduced as, but they chose an existing festive/celebratory time to slot it into the calendar. Plus the Christian Bible also includes the old testament why shouldn't it? ...not quite sure what you're talking about, I haven't claimed anything contrary to that ---------- Post added 05-08-2015 at 23:59 ---------- Yule be right there- although their 'Xmas' also takes in a few elements of Chanukah. I'd be interested to hear, in your own words, what you think they are and why... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I'd be interested to hear, in your own words, what you think they are and why... A. 25th day of month [Jewish: Kislev. Xmas: December]. B. Extended timespan [Jewish: 8 days. Xmas: 12 days]. C. Midwinter. D. Lights [Jewish: candles. Xmas: same or similar]. E. Gift-giving. Why? Plagiarism, to seek further adherents to the new religion (all of whose early adherents were Jewish). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
