Yes. Christmas is celebrated in China. Surprise! In fact, it is celebrated all over China, from the biggest “Westernized Cities” such as Hong Kong and Shanghai to the lowest village in the Hunan mountains. It is celebrated with vigor. Let’s talk about Chinese Christmas.

Now, American Christmas is different than a Chinese Christmas. There are many reasons for this. The big one is that Christmas is being phased out by mega-corporations. Of course, there is a big progressive anti-Christmas purge prevalent in the United States today. Thank you Barrack Obama. By the rabid success of it, you might get the impression that it is “old fashioned”, obsolete, and out-of-step with the rest of the world. Nothing could be further from the truth.

It is Americans that are getting out of step with the rest of the world. Christmas is not only accepted, but is growing and embraced warmly. This is especially true in China, no matter what the American main-steam media wants to portray.



Christmas is just as popular as it ever has been. In fact, it’s popularity is actually expanding. Maybe not in the United States, but the rest of the world welcomes the holiday; the rituals, and the good will. Christmas is a truly popular holiday. Today in China

Today in China, I see people putting up their artificial Christmas trees (in gold and silver colors… there are a handful of fake green trees as well.) in their business offices.

Kindly explain how it was that "Christmas" aka the tree fetish was around 500+ years before Yeshua was born?

Jeremiah records the decorated tree in the house "festivity" well before it was labeled a "Christmas" tree.

If you want to celebrate the birth of your savior, at least don't do it on the birthdate of your enslaver.

I’m in China now. Today I heard Silent Night on the radio. Last week I watched an obscure movie about Jesus on China cable TV. Oh Holy Night played over the speakers at Ikea. Very interesting.

Says the purist. However, how do you introduce our Savior to people who are not permitted to see a Bible? How do you introduce them to kindness, and New Testiment Love?

Says the adulterer, how do you introduce the whore of Babylon to your Savior?

Oh, simple. You say, “here she is”. And he welcomes her without judgement. My God is a forgiving and understanding God.

Trees don’t belong to Ba’al or Moloch or Baphomet or Beelzebub. They belong to Jesus Christ Our Lord.

All things were created through Him. All things were created for Him.
