Oral tradition is dangerous. I have been trying to find where the Bible teaches about Christmas.

Christmas merely means the "birth of Christ". It is well documented in Matthew chapters 1 & 2 and Luke chapters 1 & 2.
As for all of the traditionalism surrounding the day, the specific day chosen, the ritualisms and all, I agree.

I concur in principle with what the author has said but would like to have also read some examples.
Christianity (IMHO) has been turned on its ear due to the perversion of the word of God in both the rewriting of the 1611 KJ bible in order to favor the will of men over the will of God and all the more so by preachers, priests, evangelists and the like who "...preach another gospel" as Paul warned against in Galatians chapter one, for their own illicit purpose(s).
Thanks for posting this and I have signed on to read more from this blog.
Have a great day in the Lord!

I will include some examples soon. I'm in the middle of studying this out for myself, as well.

For example, Romans 10:13 is a classic salvation passage. However if you read the context (starting all the way back in Romans 9:1) it speaks to Israel's state of being accursed for Christ (being set aside in favor of the Era of Grace with the Gentiles). The word "saved" does not always mean justification unto eternal life. In this passage, it appears to me to be connected with being saved from their state of being accursed, not with traditional salvation.

Correction: It is treated as a salvation passage.
Added: Is it right, fair, and equitable to apply a passage in a way that is out of the context of its interpretation?
The Bible clearly states that "2Pe 1:20 KJV — Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation." I.e., we can't just arbitrarily assign meaning to a passage without considering its context. I would add that it is unfair to the text to attempt to apply it in a manner that is inconsistent with its interpretation.
