Why most muslims celebrates like most of the Christan occasions , but Christans doesn't ?
In my family we celebrate Christmas etc...

[666HiddenMaster666]

Christmas was a pagan holiday that the Catholic Church used to lure pagans into converting
Puritans themselves banned Christmas because it's not a Christian thing

Christmas isn't a Christian hoilday ?

[666HiddenMaster666]

Christmas isn't a Christian hoilday ?

As I said before, it's originally pagan and the Catholic Church used it to try to convert Roman pagans

Christmas isn't a Christian hoilday ?

Jesus was born somewhere between mid September - early August.

All of the "Christian Holidays" started off from Pagan traditions that were adopted by miscellaneous groups as a unanimous day to celebrate multiple holidays in one sitting. I only celebrate Christmas because my family enjoys giving each other gifts, however we do not believe in it being the day "Christ was born" as this is not correct. My parents are Christians and they don't believe in "Christian holidays" whatsoever, simply because they were never mentioned in the Bible as being such and do not want to follow organized religions traditionalist imperatives.

Christmass is originally from a german tradition ( not deutsch germans, but the group of people in the early years of history), when the days are starting to be longer (21 dec), and they did burn trees as a symbol for the light overwinning the darkness.

And the christian church combined this fest with the birth of jesus.

This is why we have trees, it is a symbol for burning trees from the old fest of the germans and the "birth" of jesus.

Roman pagans
Scandinavians also did this, but in a different way, still a version of paganism tho

Historical documents suggest otherwise. He was born during the time of the Shepard migration of their animals, which was held in the later months due to the increased vegetation of the former months raining season. There are also other documents stating he had been born North of his families lands, in which they would have needed to follow the North Star which is most vibrant in the September range, and is not nearly as vibrant in January. You are wrong.

I'm sure it's not September , as i said January
or December!

I don't care what you said, you are wrong. The Shepards would not be migrating their flock during the colder seasons, they keep them in a uniform central location which has been proven by archaeology. All of the Inns were filled indicating the fall weather pilgrimage. You have ZERO evidence to backup your case meanwhile I have given hard old EVIDENCE. Just stop.
