You can even call it a Christmas gift from you to them!<\/p>\n<p>The book I am putting out next week is on the subject of Christmas. Did you know it has pagan roots? Did you know that Jesus was not born on December 25th? Yes, it&#8217;s true.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-13312\" alt=\"Christmas Tree Snow\" src=\"https:\/\/redeeminggod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/christmas-tree-snow-1-150x88.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"88\" srcset=\"https:\/\/redeeminggod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/christmas-tree-snow-1-150x88.jpg 150w, https:\/\/redeeminggod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/christmas-tree-snow-1-570x335.jpg 570w, https:\/\/redeeminggod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/christmas-tree-snow-1-860x505.jpg 860w, https:\/\/redeeminggod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/christmas-tree-snow-1-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/redeeminggod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/christmas-tree-snow-1.jpg 935w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>But I argue that even though Christmas is a pagan holiday, Christians must celebrate it. Why? Because Christmas represents the central theme and message of Christianity.<\/p>\n<p>If you have ever had a well-meaning Christian friend tell you that it was sinful to put up a Christmas tree, decorate your house, buy Christmas presents, or talk about Santa Claus, this book is for you. I address all these issues (and more) and still end up concluding that Christians can (and should) celebrate all these things because by participating in Christmas before the world we are preaching Christ&#8217;s message to the world.<\/p>\n<p>So don&#8217;t delay!
