As true believers, we should understand what Christmas is.  Christmas means "Christ+mas".  The word "mas" in Latinmeans public worship celebration.  Basically, it means followers of Christ celebrate publically the birth of our Lord Jesus.  It doesn't mean "family time", "gift time", or "loving others time".  These are things we do in honor of Christ, butthe word Christmas does not mean these things.  

There are popular deceptions that most liberal/left professors and historians teach about Christmas.  They teach that Christian holiday had pagan origins.  This is one of the biggestdeceptions.  Remember that Satan is a great deceivers.  He deceives by not giving the full information and twising just abit us to be deceived.

All Christian holidays does not have pagan "origins", but originated to replace existing pagan worship and practices.  Thesame is true for Christmas as you can see below.  It does NOT have pagan origin, but it was specifically designed to replace pagan origin holidays.  

An example is Korean New Years's Eve midnight worship service.  Instead of celebrating pagan practices, Korean churches began midnight worship service to spiritually combat drunken stupors and other unholy practices.  Does that make Korean church's New Year's Eve worship services having pagan origin? Absolutely not!!!!

Let's celebrate the truth and not deceptions.  The focus of Christmas is not "love", "family", or anything else.  The focus is on Jesus Christ.

Merry Christmas and may the peace and love of our Lord Jesus Christ embrace all of us!!!
