Is Christmas Biblical?

Every December, we have been required to write an essay on how we would spend our Christmas vacation. I just wonder on its biblical truth though I will never discount the enjoyment I am getting during this season. As I am growing, there is a question being raised on my mind. I think I have not yet read the word "christmas" in the bible. Anyone who had read it there? So, is it really biblical?

Organized religion is not biblical, and neither is Christmas. Religion was man-made for business purposes. Its a Huge Scam, and the world's best business in the sense of making money, molesting women and children, and of Power over people. Christmas is not in the bible, and Jesus was not born on Christmas Day. In Fact there is not, and there never has been any factual proof found, that Jesus ever lived in Palestine. Christmas is just another part of the religious Scam that has been foisted upon mankind.

The festivity of Christmas is not mentioned in the Bible. Jesus certainly wasn't born on the 25th of December (it is more likely that he was born in March). Christmas was a festival invented by the Roman church, probably to supplant the pagan festival of Saturn, though many cultures had (and still have) a midwinter festival which celebrated the turn of the year and expressed hope in the rebirth of the light/Sun.

There is no record in Bible to say that Jesus born on December 25. Neither Jesus advised to celebrate his birthday nor his disciples did it. The decision to celebrate December 25 as the birthday of Jesus Christ and Christmas was first done be Pop Julius - 1. This is normal as Christians just follow the Church not in Bible, If they really believe in Bible and read it they will no longer believe in it. Peace.
