Is Christmas a Christian (or Catholic) Holiday?

I serve the God of Israel-YHWH(Jehovah) ...
There is no "god of Israel" and there is no religion on this earth that claims god lives in israel, not even Christianity believes that. You serve a cult.
... he is the only true God.
Not possible and you have not the smallest, tiniest proof whatsoever. In fact, it has been proven by science that the bible is nonsense written by men .... not by god or by christ or by flying hampsters. That's right, the book you use as a reference is man-made fiction.
Who do you say God is?
If there is a god, "he" cannot be so stupid as to believe in superstitions such as pregnant virgins, rising from the dead, sending a "son" to die for our sins and false testimonies in the fictitious bible and expecting the world beyond "israel" to believe it. If you believe all of that BS then you are a man without sense. A man without a brain. A man without logic. A man with a child's mind. You have been duped. I'm sorry but that's the truth. :crybaby:
 
What a stupid question. How do you think I reacted?

Aha - you say you left the Holy Church in Berlin in 1979 where the "tolerant" Prussian kings and emperors, the "tolerant" Nazis and the "tolerant" Commies had taken care that only very few Catholics existed any longer there. My aunt - the Nazis had called her "a Jew" if ... no: Still today I will not say who had protected her or anyone else from my family. She on her own had helped many people for long decades as a convinced socialist and a convinced Catholic in Berlin.

And you - I call you now only a "damned asshole" in context of the history of Berlin - say you left the child molesting holy church and did not notice how in the same time of history - 1970ies/1980ies - people in Germany fought for the legal right of pedophile men to abuse all children by using of misinterpretations of the words "tolerance", "human right" and also the word "emancipation".

That you left the Holy Church - if you ever had been a part of her at all, what I doubt when I see you "thinking" (=defaming) - is one thing. Your "moral" and "courage" is another thing.

I "know" a lot more than you but who is this "atheist" you keep talking to?

You. But if you prefer this I could also call you "Satansbraten". And "yes" - I suffer a lack of humbleness in case of fanatics like you. I remember too many killed people, pioneer of death.

... pregnant virgins ...

It exists only one mother of god: Mother Mary. And the German word "Jungfrau" (verbally "young woman") for virgin expresses much better that this meant just simple "young unmarried woman". For sure meant this in this time of history also that a young woman had to be a virgin - but this was not so when mother Mary and Joseph married - what had been a cultural problem for Joseph, But he and god solved this problem lovefully. Joseph - the stepfather of god - was a wonderful man with a very free spirit. He had not been a false moralist.

The much more important word in this context of mother Mary is "innocence". But I have now not the time to explain this to you detailed. If you remember your Catholic religious education then you should know what 'to be without sin' has to do with her freedom - and also with our freedom now and the philosophical statement that freedom needs responsibility and responsibility needs freedom.

What's not any big problem in my own culture. Better to be a right idiot than to be a wrong intellectual.

I find this piece interesting and tellworthy, because nowadays many denie the christian roots of Christmas they just equal it with ancient pagan roots, and consumerism. They want to erase the Christ out of Christmas. Many just say "But Christmas is pagan not Christian."

Catholic Roots of Christmas
December 19, 2020
Christmas honors the pivotal day which altered all of history. Christians around the world celebrate Christmas as the birthday of Christ Jesus. On this day, God Incarnate departed the hidden tabernacle of Mary’s womb into the blissful embrace of His mother’s arms. And she, in turn, presented this unblemished child, this Divine Gift, to all the world that we might adore Him as “Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6).

As with any child’s arrival, there are many preparations to be made before welcoming the new family member; an expecting family gathers bathing items, blankets, and a collection of cozy outfits. Faithful members of the Catholic Christian family prepare for Christ’s coming by observing the season of Advent.

Advent is a time of joyful anticipation in which the faithful prepare their hearts for the most special arrival of the Divine Infant. Formally introduced by the Council of Tours in 567 AD, the Advent season begins four Sundays prior to Christmas Day. This period provides a precursor to the special holy day when the Light of the World shines amidst the darkness, the Sign of Hope dispels all despair.

One Catholic tradition orienting believers toward Christ’s coming is the Nativity Scene. This practice harkens back to Medieval times when in 1223, St. Francis of Assisi directed a live nativity scene as a form of public remembrance honoring Christ’s birth. St. Francis wanted to bring the Gospels to life, assigning parts for Mary, Joseph, the shepherds, and others so that in witnessing this reenactment, all people would learn the extraordinary story of God’s love for mankind. Often the nativity creche remains empty until Christmas Eve as a reminder that the faithful eagerly await the Christ child. And when the Divine Infant arrives, how much greater is the joy during the Christmas vigil when Baby Jesus joins the Holy Family and all humanity!

When the faithful prepare their hearts properly, the blessings of Christmas may be appreciated in full. “We Christians are called to safeguard and spread the joy of waiting,” Pope Francis declared in a Vatican address. Additionally, much as the faithful await Christ’s birth in remembrance of the first Christmas, the Catholic liturgical readings point the faithful toward awaiting Christ’s ultimate return upon Judgement Day.

According to Catholic tradition, the rejoicing of Christ’s coming lasts considerably longer than one great day. Rather, it stretches from the Christmas vigil Mass until the Feast of the Epiphany, sometimes called Three Kings’ Day.

Why did the Church choose to celebrate Christ’s birth on December 25? The most direct answer is that according to the Roman calendar, this day marked the winter solstice. Saint Augustine explained the significance of this day in remembering Christ’s coming, writing, “on the day which is the shortest in our earthly reckoning and from which subsequent days begin to increase in length. He, therefore, who bent low and lifted us up chose the shortest day, yet the one whence light begins to increase.”

The most excellent Catholic tradition of celebrating Christmas as a family is attending Holy Mass together. Even young adults who may have strayed from observing other tenets of their Catholic faith will often return to Mass with their families in order to observe the sacred Feast of the Nativity.

Christmas is a rare time when the Mass readings differ according to the order in which the Mass is offered. There are four distinct Christmas Masses. The Vigil Mass is offered at the start of Christmas Eve. The Mass of the angels is a popular celebration, offered at midnight. The Dawn Mass is called the Mass of the Shepherds; it is offered early morning. Finally, on Christmas Day, the priest offers the Mass of the Divine Word.

The Christmas octave is punctuated with a feast that originally honored Christ’s circumcision. In present times, the Catholic Church commemorates the first day of the year as the Feast of Mary, Mother of God. This holy day respects Mary’s unique human privilege of forming Christ physically and spiritually before releasing Him into the world to fulfill His divine salvific work.

The end of the Christmas season points toward this extraordinary mission for which God entered the world. According to Catholic tradition, the Magi, called the Three Kings, spent 12 days following a star. The brilliant star led them to Bethlehem, where Jesus had just been born. The Wise Men—Melchior, Caspar, and Balthazar—presented three symbolic gifts to the Holy Family for their newborn son. The kings presented to the Divine Child gold to honor His kingship, frankincense to honor His priesthood, and myrrh to honor His humanity.

Many families around the world present gifts to one another either in celebration of Christmas Day or in commemoration of the Three Kings. The faithful fulfill the Christmas spirit when offering their own hearts to the Divine Messiah who humbled Himself to enter the world as a small child.

It's a chance to buy off the children, otherwise they don't care about Jesus.
 
No actually i dont. I am confident you dont know him.
No one does. You've been duped to think you do. The bible is built on superstition and to believe in it is the effect of pure cultism that lost people follow. There is nothing wrong with being "lost". The problem is in finding your way out by means of sense, logic and the reality that life on earth offers. The bible is made-made fiction written by men who believed in hocus-pocus. There are no answers to the questions of life in the pages of the bible. Whatever/however life was created is something we must wait for, during which time it is probably a good idea to live life to the fullest without infringing on your fellow man by trying to make him join you in your superstitious cult. Superstitious cultism is Satanism.

So then in your belief--You have traded 70-100 years possible standing in opposition to the true God and will miss out on trillions x trillions x trillions, etc of never ending years of life in Gods kingdom. Not very wise thinking.
 
Santa unscrambled = satan--he steals 98% of that holiday.
So, you are saying that the Christian Saint Nicholas is Satan.

You have just spouted the very same SUPERSTITIOUS CULT teaching that I told you about. You are preparing yourself to go to the HELL that you claim is for others.

And without any form of humor. The set of idiots is always greater than any subset of this idiots. So I would only be wrong to say so if not only one not-German would be also an idiot, idiot. Or was I wrong now to say so?

Any religion serving a non existent trinity is NOT christian, just because they claim they are. No real Christian serves a non existent god.
Any encyclopedia will tell you that pagan false god worship additives were added to both celebrations they try to hand to Jesus. But Gods word is clear--One cannot partake off of his table and the table of demons. 1Cor 10:21)--The false God Astarte( Beltis) is Ishtar( pronounced easter) they named that holiday after the false god. The Chaldean rites of spring-Hot cross buns and the dyed eggs of Pasch. both from those pagan false god worship practices.
