What does God say about Christmas?

It would be great if there was a God that would answer the question. We'll just have to let those that have faith & can speak for what they believe is a sentient being that would billions of years old living somewhere outside what our universe try their best to answer.

God says a lot about Christmas which is a holiday about the birth of His son, in the Bible. Christmas originated in Rome about 336, buy did not become a Christian holiday until the 9th century. But, our traditions change every year and the belief of the birth of Jesus being the son of God is common among Christians.
 
Christmas is a consumer rip-off. The merchants are laughing all the way to the bank and smiling all the way back to the store.

I have nothing against families getting together over a nice meal and I have nothing against the lovely traditional Christmas carols. I love "Silent Night", "Joy to the World" and songs like "Oh Little Town of Bethlehem." Don't like the modern stuff like rappers doing Christmas songs. I don't mind, "Here Comes Santa Claus" but after that I draw the line. I have many things against massive, unnecessary commercial consumption that gets people deeper and deeper into debt and the landfills getting bigger and bigger.

Well, I certainly agree with you on that. But, I save for the holiday and therefore don't go into debt. It is over commercialized and should really be centered more on the Real reason we celebrate at this time.
 
What I think God says about Christmas is this,

I think He is happy when people are showing love one to another. I don’t think He is happy with all the material things done around the holidays, but I think He understands the rest. I also think that God wants people to consider Him, and not forget Him even at Christmas time.

You offered an opinion about feeling or emotion not an actual verbal expression of thought by the mythical billion year old outside our universe. But the sentiment in your opinion is nice.

Yes, my opinion of course and sentiment, but also God is not a mythical billion year old to me, my beliefs are different perhaps than yours, if I am understanding you correctly Knight.
 
I'm pretty sure that I've never given it much thought. Is it really important as we move along life's path? I was brought up attending a little Congregational church and always enjoyed the hymns (still do) and the festive atmosphere that takes place.

Little ones in the family still send their notes for their wished for presents, into the fireplace and up the chimney, as did I many years ago. Looking back, I think my parents must have "guided" my choices as most of them would come true on Christmas morning.

Is it really going to make a difference in my life (or your's) to believe or not belive the religious aspect of the Holiday. If someone doesn't wish to celebrate it, by all means don't. But no need to try to "prove" that there's no factual basis for it.

There are other celebatory days for folks of other religions. I'm not familiar with most but I'm surely not going to try and disprove or criticize them. Hopefully they will enjoy their occasions as well as I enjoy mine.
 
What people refer to as God probably is far more concerned with other issues like how we Earth monkeys are destroying His planet and its incredible evolved life, our continuous wars, and general moral rot, than what we do in our Christmas season.

My unique speculative perspective is what Christians refer to as God and his race of angels, likely not organic and very ancient, long ago with his son Jesus, disowned much of the way leaders of Christian churches have led his flock, while being aware many ordinary Christians, and especially most of his ordinary church religious leaders like well meaning priests, preachers, nuns, etc have lived reasonable lives given how they have been otherwise misled. For our sake he perseveres, still offering his gift of salvation and everlasting life, despite the many evil.

Much like ordinary Jews for centuries after Solomon's era were misled by the Levite sect due to being expropriated by powerful evil immoral leaders. Thus a many centuries hand's off approach to interference at church levels to his flock. An expectation of his race of UIE's that once a science age arose, humans given disparate nations with a range of religions, moral beliefs, and goals, would eventually destroy much of the planet, and its precious life, along with the lives of billions of last phase humans.

It is only then that those few that survive will understand how impossible it is for humans alone to lead themselves into a peaceful, productive, future. And the planet and its life may suffer for thousands to millions of years before it adequately recovers. Never again will selfish warmongering humans guided by their materialistic and power greed be allowed to lead. And those humans left will greatly agree. The above noted, Jesus probably greatly appreciates those that celebrate his human life's beginning.

Will also speculate Mary while under anesthesia that began as she slept, was surgically impregnated by angels with DNA that was evolved off-world from that of Adam for which the ancient electromagnetic entity of Jesus could be transferred to.
