Taking the Christmas Out of Christianity
22 December 2004And then there are the Christians who don't believe in Christmas at all... Donna Gehrke-White of Knight Ridder Newspapers adds a log to the What Is Christmas About? fire with a story on the Florida Sunset Church of Christ, the leaders of which decided not to celebrate Christmas more than 100 years ago, as early Christians never documented Christ's birthday, and there was no reference to it in the Bible. She also notes 4th Century debates over the holiday and a Puritan Christmas-ban which imposed fines on Christmas celebrants.
