The PLAIN TRUTH about CHRISTMAS! - Herbert W Armstrong - December 1957

Herbert W Armstrong

Where did we get Christmas?...from the Bible or paganism? Here are astonishing FACTS which may shock you! Do you know the origin of the Christmas tree - of "Santa Claus" - of the mistletoe, holly wreath - custom of exchanging gifts? Does Christmas really celebrate the birthday of Jesus? Was He born on December 25th? Did Paul, the apostles, and the early Church of the New Testament celebrate Christmas? Do you know what the BIBLE says about the Christmas tree? Stop and think! Very few know WHY we do the things we do, or WHERE our customs came from! We were born into a world filled with customs. We grew up practicing them, taking them for granted, but NEVER QUESTIONING WHY! - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
