Does this express the Christian view of Christmas? If you are not Christian, does it help you understand them?

Question

The Virgin’s Child

Trembling on the edge of a miracle
The whole world holds its breath
For a virgin holds within her
womb
Our deliverance from death

In a tiny town called Bethlehem
There walks an anxious man
He leads a tiny donkey
On it's back is God's Wondrous
Plan

He trudges through the crowded
streets
Looking weary and forlorn
Till he finds a humble stable
Where the virgin's Child is born

Behold, the sky is filled with
angels
Men's hearts quiver at the sight
Now hear the glorious
proclamation
You shepherds who watch in the
night

"Fear not, oh simple shepherds
For the virgin has given birth
We bring you tidings of great joy
And peace to men on earth"

The Magi come to worship Him
Heaven's King, foretold
To honor Him with gifts of myrrh
And frankincense, and gold

Following a star bright as
morning
To the feet of the virgin's Son
They come from the mystic Orient
To worship the Promised One

He was born amongst the animals
Like the sacrifice He was to be
Though the world could barely
make Him room
He came to change our destiny

To a world that hardly seemed to
care
God's Greatest Gift was given
His Word was fulfilled, His
Promise kept
He sent us the Treasure of Heaven

He is standing and knocking at the
door
Oh, don't leave Him outside
Make room in your heart for the
virgin's Child
On this joyous Christmastide

Answer 5

Let's look at the origins of Christmas traditions.

The tree? Pagan.
The garland? Pagan.
The topper? Pagan.
The ornaments? Pagan.
The presents? Pagan.
The nativity? Pagan (this, specifically, Mithraism).
The feast? Pagan.
The very date itself? Pagan.

Number of Gospels which describe the Birth in any depth?
Only 2 of 4.

Number of times the Apostles celebrate Jesus's birth?
Never.

Number of times the Bible (OT and NT) condemns God's people participating in pagan traditions?
Too numerous to count.

How the Bible refers to God's people participating in pagan traditions?
Abomination.

Literally the only thing 'Christian' about it is the name you ascribe to the infant in the manger.

More to the point -- why do Christians celebrate an abomination?

Answer 6
