Christians do many things which are not in the Bible. Celebrating a major moment in history is a common activity in most cultures - remembering the birthday of the Buddha, for instance. Christians remember the birth of Christ.
The date is unimportant. Christ probably was NOT born in December - many scholars suggest March as a more likely time. But it was a way for the early Church to take over a pagan festival, so it put this feast on the same day. Again, a fairly common practice in history.
Christians have no problem with other celebrations - Hannukah, Kwanza - and most people of those faith groups have no problem with Christmas. It is the people who are more interested in destroying traditions and attacking faiths who raise the problems.

Just because something is not mentioned in the Bible, does not make it a tool of Satan. I do not believe breakfast is mentioned in the Bible, but I eat it most every day. I also don't think the Bible mentions the Internet either, but you obviously are all right with its use, even though it definitely can be used as a tool of Satan. If you choose not to celebrate holidays that is your business, but just because others do, does not make it a tool of Satan.

even however the beginning of a toddler has consistently been a reason for plenty excitement, the Bible makes no connection with a birthday social gathering for a servant of God. (Psalm 127:3) replaced into this basically an oversight? No, for 2 birthday celebrations are pronounced—that of a Pharaoh of Egypt and that of Herod Antipas. (examine Genesis 40:20-22; Mark 6:21-29.) the two activities, inspite of the undeniable fact that, are provided in a bad mild—particularly the latter, which observed John the Baptizer beheaded. “The early Christians,” notes the worldwide e book Encyclopedia, “seen the social gathering of every person’s beginning to be a pagan custom.” the classic Greeks, case in point, believed that anybody had a keeping spirit that attended the guy’s beginning and thereafter watched over him. That spirit “had a mystic relation with the god on whose birthday the guy replaced into born,” says the e book The Lore of Birthdays. Birthdays even have an prolonged-status and an intimate link with astrology and the horoscope. to boot rejecting birthday customs as a effect of pagan and spiritistic roots, God’s servants of old probably rejected them on concept besides. Why? those have been humble, modest females and adult males human beings who did no longer view their arrival in the worldwide as so substantial that it will be celebrated.* (Micah 6:8; Luke 9:40 8) quite, they glorified Jehovah and thanked him for the worthwhile present of existence.*—Psalm 8:3, 4; 36:9; Revelation 4:11. At demise, all integrity keepers are risk-free in God’s memory, and their destiny existence is certain. (activity 14:14, 15) Says Ecclesiastes 7:a million: “a competent call is extra constructive than sturdy oil, and the day of demise is extra constructive than the day of beginning.” Our “sturdy call” is the sturdy recognition we've won with God by uncomplicated provider. severely, the only commemoration commanded for Christians comprises, no longer a beginning, yet a demise—that of Jesus, whose extraordinary “call” is the main important to our salvation.—Hebrews a million:3, 4; Luke 22:17-20.

Christmas is the celebration of Jesus's birth. That is why it is celebrated. You are the type of Christian that gives Christianity and Christians a bad name.

to celebrate the birth of Christ (christian reason), and the social reason of celebrating love, peace and good-will
It is custom to celebrate it on the day that we do, even though the day was picked so that Christians would not be killed but could hide under roman festival of lights. We can still celebrate this under the current custom.

Are you suggesting that Christians should walk everywhere, since automobiles are not mentioned in the Bible? I don't think toothbrushes and deodorant are mentioned in the Bible either.

This is evidently the second time you've asked this question. Or the third?
Anyway, stop impersonating a Christian and go find something useful to do. Thank you.
