Do church of Christ celerbrate Christmas?

Answer 1

If by "church of Christ" you mean the church of The Bible which began on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2) and was bought and paid for by the blood of Jesus (Acts 20:28), then the Bible answer must be "no". This first century church did not have a practice of celebrating the birth of Jesus on the 25th of December (as we know this calendar day). Rather they celebrated the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ every First Day of the week in the form of the commanded Lord's Supper (Acts 20:7). The birth of Christ was important, however, the death and resurrection is what saves a person from hell fire. The blood of Christ is what redeems us from our sins if we are in Christ through immersion of water for the forgiveness of sins (Acts 2:38). This immersion also puts one into Christ or into His church (Acts 2:47). While the early church did not celebrate Christmas as a religious holiday today many of those congregations which pattern themselves after the one true New Testament Church (Ephesians 4:4-6 and Colossians 1:16) will exchange gifts and celebrate the holiday as they would the fourth of July or Thanksgiving...a day to be with family and friends, not a religious holiday. When the Jewish Law was nailed to the cross (Col. 2:14), this abolished all responsibility of God's people observing religious holidays.
