How do we know the celebration of Christmas is not a biblical command?

Answered in 1 source

The celebration of Christmas as a holiday is not commanded in Scripture and developed more culturally than biblically.

The assertion that Christmas is not a biblically mandated celebration can be traced back to its historical origins. The Bible does not provide instructions for commemorating the birth of Christ, with early Christians not celebrating it at all. Instead, it has evolved into a cultural event marked by intense commercialism that often detracts from the message of Christ. Paul’s teaching urges believers to avoid conforming to worldly traditions and instead focus on maintaining a relationship with Christ year-round. Understanding this context helps Christians discern how to engage with holiday celebrations without falling into idolatry or materialism.
