Christmas? Is of pagan origin and no biblical basis. ‘Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it’Dt. 12:32, NKJV “The choice of December 25 was influenced by the fact that the Romans, from the time of Emperor Aurelian (275), had celebrated the feast of the sun god (Sol Invictus: the Unconquered Sun) on that day. December 25 was called the “Birthday of the Sun,” and great pagan religious celebrations of the Mithras cult were held all through the empire. What was more natural than that the Christians celebrate the birth of Him Who was the ‘Light of the World’ and the true ‘Sun of Justice’ on this very day?” (Handbook of Christian Feasts and Customs, p. 61)
