Why are folks saying Christmas is sinful? I don’t get it. We’re celebrating Jesus’ birth, not some pagan thing! Seems like people are overthinking it and trying to find problems where there aren’t any. Let’s focus on the joy of Christ instead! Amen!

Christmas celebrates Jesus’ birth. The holiday honors God’s love. Christians focus on these religious aspects. What can be sinful about that?
These customs are not pagan worship. Ridiculous idea.
Christmas focuses on positive emotions and religious meaning. Instead of worrying about small details, people can concentrate on the main purpose of the holiday. This approach allows individuals to appreciate the spirit of Christmas and its traditions fully.
Christianity adapts cultural practices. The Church’s approach to cultural practices is purposeful. It seeks to transform, not eliminate, existing traditions. This method allows Christianity to connect with different cultures. It helps people understand Christian teachings through familiar concepts. The Church carefully considers which elements to keep or modify. This approach helps Christianity spread and take root in diverse societies.
God changes traditions over time. Tamales had a role in pagan rituals. Now, families make tamales to celebrate Jesus’ birth. Christmas trees also have a new purpose. These customs now honor God. People enjoy tamales and decorations during Christmas. The main focus remains on Jesus. God takes old things and gives them new meaning. This ability of God is good
Early settlers in America tried to remove old traditions from their new home. This decision had long-lasting effects, which continue to influence our religious practices and national identity today. Many people are unaware of how these past choices affect us. We can learn from this history. We should try to bring people together instead of separating them.
I wouldn’t worry about it. People misunderstand (intentionally or otherwise) their own religious history. Social media doesn’t help matters. The facts are out there in history books, and the tradition of Christmas is full of Christian symbols.
TL;DR ignore them and Merry Christmas.
