Christmas

This was posted on the Truth Matters blog.

"Christmas is coming! Quite so; but what is "Christmas"?Does not the very term itself denote its source-- "Christ-mass."Thus it is of Romish origin, brought over from Paganism.But, says someone, Christmas is the time when we commemoratethe Savior's birth. It is? And who authorized such commemoration?Certainly God did not. The Redeemer bade His disciples "remember"Him in His death, but there is not a word in Scripture, fromGenesis to Revelation, which tells us to celebrate His birth." - Arthur Pink
