The holiday known world wide is promoted as a Christian Holiday, celebrating the birth of Jesus. However, you asked about the true meaning of Christmas, and it is not what most think.
The Christian Holy Scriptures is called the Bible. It would seem this is the best source to study the true meaning of Christmas if you are going to call it a Christian Holiday. It causes many great concern and conflict from their upbringing to learn that there are seven specific God's Holy Days and true Christians are to celebrate those days that are Holy to God. The holiday known as Christmas is not one of them. Most people who call themselves Christians don't even know God's Holy days exist.
The scriptures warn true Christians to be wary of false prophets and the Great Deceiver; those who mislead with false doctrine. Most of us today have been misled. Most of our parents, grandparents and several generations before them have been misled. The winter seasonal holiday we now celebrate as Christmas is actually entirely based on pagan celebrations that were celebrated centuries before Christ. Every aspect we now call Christmas activity is based on a pagan activity, including a lighted tree, the giving of gifts, the yule log, mistletoe, feasts; every detail.
A catholic pope in the 4th century deemed it a good idea for those Christians in that era to time their own celebration season to coincide with the pagan events to hide their activities. If you study the time line given in the Scriptures, Christ could not have been born at that time of year. It is false doctrine.
Many toss all that aside, saying, “Well, we are celebrating the birth of Christ. I don't care what it was before.”
The biggest problem with that is that the Bible also warns true Christians to stay away from all forms of pagan celebrations, which are called abominations to God. If you actually open the Book and study the Word, you will find great discomfort in celebrating Christmas as a Christian holiday. Those who hold true to God's Word avoid it like the pagan holiday it truly is.
Satan takes great delight in misleading those who call themselves Christians. This “Christmas” holiday event is right at the top of his worldly successes. Don't take my word for it. If you call yourself a Christian, take time to Study God's Word to learn the entire Truth and while you are at it, learn what else you are being deceived about.
