Xmas the short thread
Xmas is a Roman Catholic holy day, holy week, even extending into the following month. It was brought into the Pentecostal movement through Protestantism. No where in the Bible (New Testament especially) had anyone taught or practiced a celebration for the birth of Christ. Through the Bible alone one couldn't come up with a Xmas observance. Certainly no pine tree laced with jewelry, lighted or non lighted. No Mariah Carey singing about her selfishness and possessiveness.
