Christmas is an idol.
Only if you make it into one, and worship materialism, money, booze, bigger and better presents/possessions.
the Apostles and original Christians did not celebrate Christmas. It’s a pagan holiday
Scripture doesn't say that they remembered the day on which Christ was born, but that doesn't mean that they didn't celebrate his birth, or the incarnation, in some way. Matthew and Luke wrote about it in detail; they clearly wanted people to know what had happened.
ask yourself why the world celebrates Christmas.
A lot of people who don't set foot in church during the rest of the year, go at Christmas. Or listen to Christmas carols - either in church or on television/radio.
There are some who treat it only as a huge party and excuse for booze, food, presents and material stuff; that doesn't mean it's wrong for everyone to celebrate this festival.
The world hates Christ.
They may do; but most of the world don't know Christ or have never met him.
They celebrate it because it belongs to the pagans.
The days of the week and months of the year are named after Roman/Greek gods; do they "belong to the pagans" too?
Christmas and Easter day, for myself and many others, are about Jesus.
Pagans don’t care about Christ.
Do they know about him? Have you told them?
