J. Davy Crockett III
The sounds, the smells, the colorful lights and decorations; folks being thoughtful and remembering the poor, good feelings all around; what could possibly be wrong with any of this? Short days, cold, long nights can use some brightening up and some cheerful activities, so "Just leave me alone" the devotees to Christmas might say to those who decry the celebrations of the season.
"It's for the children!" many say, as a defense for continuing the observance in the face of all the incriminating...

What do you celebrate—and why? Has today’s mainstream Christianity obscured vital truths about the biblical feasts and celebrations God gave His people? The truth about God’s own Holy Days can bring you closer to your Savior and change your life forever!

Contrary to what most people think, the trappings of Christmas are not based on Jesus Christ of the Bible, but are deeply rooted in pre-Christian oral legends, sanitized by theologians, historians and, in some instances, the editorial rooms of more modern times. Of all these legends, none has grown to the stature and popularity of that of Santa Claus.

Question: Does the Bible give any guidelines as to how Christians should observe Christmas?
Answer: Many are surprised to learn that there is neither biblical command nor example for Christians to commemorate the anniversary of Jesus Christ’s birth.
Not once does Scripture record a birthday celebration for or by Jesus Christ. Some wrongly assume that Matthew 2:1–2 is the first occasion of Christmas gift-giving, but in fact the "wise men" were...

At Christmas-time, the usual traditions and decorations are visible almost everywhere. Among those traditions, visible many weeks before Christmas, are the sales and promotions that make Christmas the busiest retail season of the year. Many believe that the commercialization -- along with distractions like "Santa Claus" -- takes our attention away from the real meaning of Jesus' birth. But how many realize that the December 25 tradition itself obscures the truth? You need to know what your...
