This time of year, a lot of people say and write about why Christians should not be celebrating Christmas because it is pagan.

They criticize the correlation of the Christmas holiday with ancient pagan celebrations.

They compare the gifts under the tree with the worship of idols “under every green tree”.

Are these accusations accurate? Should disciples of Jesus Christ avoid celebrating Christmas?

I address these criticisms and questions in today’s very important podcast. I hope you will join me.
