- Jesus was not born on December 25
- There is not one command or suggestion in the bible to celebrate Jesus’ birth

“I know Jesus was not born on December 25th,” he said. “But we will gather with our family we will praise God for his birth and I’m going to enjoy some Christmas carols and as well as having a wonderful time remembering that God sent his only son to save me and to save us.”
