This is Ken Ham, wishing you a Merry Christmas from the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum.
Transcript
Some Christians have argued that we shouldn’t celebrate Christmas. Some say it was originally a pagan holiday. Others say since it was never commanded in Scripture . . . we shouldn’t celebrate it.
Well, the argument that Christmas was a pagan holiday doesn’t have great support. And while we aren’t commanded to celebrate Christ’s birth, the shepherds and angels worshipped and celebrated the night he was born—so there’s certainly precedent to do so!
