Not any where is Christmas mentioned. But I love the holiday and see no sin in people celebrating it. Whats the harm if once a year we all turn and think of Jesus and try and treat our fellow man a little better"even if it is only for a month".

It does not mention the word Christmas. But the Bible does mention Jesus Birth and the fact He was born to bring salvation to the world. Gabriell the Angel, announced the Good news to the shepherds in the field. The 3 kings from the east brought him gifts,in recognition of a new king born. The angels were singing his praise & joy for the world. We,as Christians follow this example with song & gifts.

There are no instructions in the bible concerning birthday parties for "The Savior." Churches tell people what to do for Christmas celebrations in a spiritual way. WALMART tells people what to do for Christmas in a decorative way. Or you can watch one of a million TV talk shows to see what the latest Christmas tree should look like.
Finally, non-religious people who love the "spirit" of Christmas and enjoy joining Christians in this totally outrageously fun season, make up their own reasons and procedures for celebration.
Ho ho ho!

The Bible tells the story of Christ being born. Sometime after His death on the Cross, the Catholic Church was formed and begin having what they called "Christ Mass" which was celebrated once a year. Hence, "Christmas," a religious celebration of the birth of Christ.

Nowhere. When the Christianity was beginning to be view as a religion, one of the king decided to make it the official religion. But before that, they had many gods, so many days they celebrated for them and now, they had to stop all those holiday. But the people still continued to celebrate the day of the god of the sun, that was the 25th of December. So the king decided to make it the birthday of Jesus, so that the people still had there holiday, but it was for this new religion. And since they had to give presents to the god, it kept. I guess the idea change from there, to giving it to the gods to giving them to each other since the Three Kings brought gifts to Jesus and all that.

Christmas is not in the Bible because it was a pagan holiday. There are mentions of it but that was before it became Christmas. You find where they decorated the tree with gold and silver, etc that became the "Christmas tree". It was not a Christian nor a Jewish holiday.

It doesn't because the celebrations of Xmas came much later with bits and pieces of local traditions from around the world incorporated woven into the tapestry of Xmas. The Xmas tree is from Germany, the wreath is the eternal circle of mythology, Santa Claus evolved from St. Nicholas. Could you in your wildest dreams imagine a sleigh with reindeer in the Holy Land? The beauty of Xmas is in remembering the birth of the Christ Child and the Faith, Hope and Charity that comes from that remembering.

There isn't anything in the Bible about christmas. It is just another manmade holiday. Jesus wants us to remember him every day and live as a Christian every day, not just once or twice a year like so many do.

Christmas is never mentioned at all in the Bible, which in turn makes it a false celebration.
