Why is Christmas important to Christians?

Answer 1

Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Christ, which is why it is called Christ mas.

Jesus is the main figure in Christianity, and his arrival fulfilled Scriptural prophecy. Yes, However it was a pagan holiday and not the true date of Jesus' birth most likely. The pagan holiday was "taken" to draw the pagan's into Christianity.

Answer:

Christmas isn't important for all Christians. As there are some Christians who do not celebrate it. Why? Because it is a Pagan holiday that was adopted by the Roman Catholic Church, and the day itself, 25th December has nothing to do with Christ's birth.

The Bible is silent on the date of Christ's birth and I think there is a very good reason for that. God did not want people to place so much importance on the day. Instead He wanted us to focus on Christ Himself and what He did.

The problem today is that the majority of the world, including Christians waste so much money on Christmas, when this money could be used to help the poor and needy. Which would truly bring glory to Jesus.
