Why Some Christians Still Celebrate Christmas

Do you use the months on the calendar or the days of the week but oppose celebrating Christmas?

For those struggling to understand why some Christians still celebrate "pagan" holidays, allow me to instruct a little:

January - named after Janus, Roman god of gates
February - named after Roman pagan festival, presumed sexual in nature
March - named after Mars, Romans god of war
April - named after Aphrodite, Greek goddess of sexuality
May - named after Maia, Italian goddess of spring
June - named after Juno, goddess of pagan Roman Pantheon temple
July - named after Julius Caesar, who believed he was a god
August - named after Augustus Caesar who also believed he was a god
September to December - each are a transliteration of the Latin number which each month represents.

To add to this, the days of the week are named after heavenly bodies worshipped by pagan cultures, IE Monday = moon, Tuesday = Mars, and so on. These names were given to honor their "gods." Overtime, the names have lost their meanings to most people, yet their history is nothing short of idolatry. So every time a person utters Monday or April, a pagan god is being "praised." 

Yet most Christians say nothing about the usage of these "days."

We live by a principle called the "present dominate association" everyday of our lives, whether we know it or not. It is the principle that establishes what something means today may not have been what it meant in the past. Thus holidays like Christmas may have been pagan, but, that does not necessarily translate into a pagan holiday today - unless you make it such. 

Do you worship Janus because you said Monday? Of course not...then how can anyone say EVERY Christian is celebrating a pagan holiday when they celebrate the birth of Christ on December 25?

Romans 4:5-8 "One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks. For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's."
