\u201cWhy am I seeing gift boxes and present under y\u2019all Christmas trees??<\/p>\n
Did you forgot Santa leaves the North Pole on the 24th and down your roof\/chimney to drop off the presents? Y\u2019all so funny. Understand the spirit of Christmas, just don\u2019t do it cause others are\u201d.<\/p>\n
Last year, while some were celebrating and making merry to mark the birthday of Jesus Christ, others argued that December 25 had nothing to do with Christ\u2019s birthday.<\/p>\n
For controversial Nigerian On Air Personality Daddy Freeze, Christmas has nothing to do with Christ, however those celebrating should go ahead and enjoy their end of the year fun.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe son of an European god was born today and they declared it a Holiday. So, we true Christians wish the rest of you Happy Holidays,\u201d he wrote on his Instagram page.<\/p>\n
Daddy Freeze chose to explain further, \u201cHello everyone, as you party hard and eat plenty rice today, remember that although no one is stopping you from having your well deserved end of year fun, this fun has NOTHING to do with Christ!-1: Christ wasn\u2019t born on the 25th December.<\/p>\n
2: There is nowhere in scripture, from Genesis to revelation where followers of God; Christians or Jews celebrated birthdays. However, there are two clear scriptural instances of pagans celebrating birthdays, Pharaoh\u2019s in Genesis 40:20 and Herod\u2019s in Matthew 14:6-12. Read more here.<\/p>\n
