Neither Jews nor Christians, when Jesus walked the earth, celebrated ANY pagan-rooted festivals. No true worshippers of the Creator today do either.

The winter solstice has nothing to do with Jesus. If He came back, He would probably say there are more important things to be concerned about than the date of His original earthly incarnation.

No way, He never did that when He was on earth. It was a pagan tradtition or custom. It was the wrong date in the first place, and He never told His disciples to do that, neither did the disciples ever celebrate it. He only promised that when He comes back He is going to have the Lord Supper again, in commemoration of His death, resurrection and return to fetch His Church or followers which He likened to a bride and He is the Bridegroom.

If Jesus ever returns it will be by some sort of Black Magic or Satanic Power because Jesus were Two Thieves Crucified by the Romans and if they return they wil be raving mad for th heads of the Biblical Jews who caused them to be crucified in place of Christ and Barabbas and for the Chief Priests allowing them to be hanged and crucified on the Sabbath and for causing them to miss the Roman Prisoners BBQ'd Lamb on the Passover..

Much more likely that He'd celebrate Channukah.
And yes, only an idiot would think that the winter solistice has anything to do with Christ. But still, what harm does it do? Really? Why NOT take one day out of the year to remember the Nativity?

because of the fact Christmas is unquestionably a pagan holiday and it developed out of previous traditions while human beings celebrated the wintry climate solstice in northern Europe and Asia. Early Christians did no longer desire to renounce their previous pagan celebrations so what they did grew to become into someway morph Jesus' delivery with the wintry climate solstice so they did no longer ought to provide up traditions. yet i think of the question we ought to constantly particularly ask is: Why can we have fun his delivery on December twenty 5th? shouldn't or no longer this is January 1st considering that our calendar is in keeping with him?!

When JESUS returns at the Second Coming there will be no need to celebrate Christmas.. JESUS will be here on earth to set up HIS kingdom, we can go to HIM and praise HIM in person...

no, because the reason we celebrate Christmas is to remember the birth of Jesus. So why would Jesus celebrate his own birth? yes i do know that this is not the exact day of His birth but in the same manner we do it to remember Him!

Probably not.
And if he did, it wouldn't be as we know it.
It's original Christian meaning was about Christ's birth and God's gift to the world.
Not getting gifts and making money faster than others.
The meaning of Christmas (along with many other things) has been twisted for a few dollars.
