Does Christmas have anything to do with Christ?

Christmas trees are Asherah poles, and those who have Christmas trees worship Asherah, aka Satan. Be afraid!
Also, ice skating is a practice that came to us from Northern Viking cultures who worship the Ice God. That is also a Satanic practice unless you have need to transport things on ice. Ice Skating for fun is Satanic. It goes double because you are risking your health when you ice skate and "Whoever destroys the Lord's temple will be destroyed."
There is another Satanic thing about Christmas time! Presents! No, the gifts themselves aren't evil but gift-giving is a sign associated with an evil society and thieves! Isaiah 1:23 says "Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them." Shall princes (us) accept gifts from each other, given that this is the sign of those who ignore the plight of orphans and widows?
Ok, there is yet another Christmastime item that is Satanic: fruitcake is Satanic which I need not explain. I only mentioned for thoroughness, but everybody knows fruitcake is Satanic. It was invented by the Romans. The Romans crucified Jesus and also worshipped Bachus, the god of frivolous eating and drinking. They introduced fruitcake to help them in their wars, because it lasted well. Satan, who caused the Romans to crucify Jesus also sponsored them in warfare; and fruitcake was of his design.

Fruitcake is satanic, simply on general principle. (BTW: it's well known that there are only two fruitcakes in the world... they just keep getting passed around as regifts at Christmastime.)
Yes; hence the name.

shhhh
you are going to confuse someone
If the Christmas celebration causes just one person to seek and find the real Jesus Christ then it is about Jesus Christ.
remember this: Whoever [or whatever] turns a sinner from the error of their way will save them from death and cover over a multitude of sins. James 5:20
Anyway Jesus is the head of every person so how can Christmas have NOTHING to do with Christ?

In seriousness- Christmas trees do have a pagan origin though. They're symbolic of the world tree in Germanic mythology, to my understanding, which makes sense considering Christmas has its origins partly in Yule.
A modern Christmas tree is for decoration. Jehovah's Witnesses are aware the wedding ring has pagan origins I think but they wear them.

It doesn't change the origin of Christmas trees though, or that some pagans still employ them for their original symbology.
I wonder if "some pagans" decorate their pagan trees with Hallmark?

Good question. I myself haven't put up a tree since I was a kid, and only keep Christmas as a way of the family coming together.
Hallmark??
I still put up a tree. But I decorate mine with tinsel and pine cones, and little shiny baubles. But I also celebrate Yule personally, and only celebrate "Christmas" with family, as everyone else is Christian.
Thank you. I am a Pharisee and I shall lay down the law about trees.
Do not put a cut tree in thy house in December.
Potted trees as houseplants are permitted.
Decorating potted houseplants with pretty things is forbidded (at any time).
Wreaths are permitted but must not be green.
Is that a question? Hallmark is the nongeneric name for pretty little things which have string for hanging.

No.It does not.
Yup, it was a question. The only "Hallmark" I know is the card brand. Thanks for the explanation.

Christmas here in Australia is a business break for the new year and a chance to catch up with the family.
It is the residual legacy of one of those medieval religious pagan festivals.
I think the Japanese summed it up as follows
Thanks for reminding us of Santa's supreme sacrifice. It is often forgotten.
