In this light-hearted, fun conversation between two friends, Angela and Emmanuel talk about Christmas and all the controversy surrounding whether or not Christians ~should~ celebrate it…
The two discuss their personal Holy Spirit conviction on Christmas as two former New Agers, what they are doing as parents, talk Santa, where we as believers draw the line of “paganism,” the core values of Christmas alongside the core values of Scripture, how this holiday is (quite obviously, radically, almost obnoxiously) different than celebrating Halloween, idolatry, the out of context Bible verse folks love to use in dispute of trees, and our job to – as the saying goes – keep the CHRIST in Christmas!
Make a cup of hot cocoa and tune in. 🙂
Don’t be a grinch, either! 😚

Dec 25th is a traditional celebration of about every pagan god throughout history.
Halloween is the night the vale between drminsions is thinnest, so demons can infiltrate your kids.
Valentines day is a depiction of the queen of babalon marrying her infant son ( that who cupid is)
Easter is s pagan fertility holiday .
All these holidays are an affront to God .
To answer your question on how you dress , follow the scriptures. Modesty is of utmost importance . When you dress to look sexy, you insult God . Fornication is the goal ( traditionally) when you dress provocatively.
The idea that God will make consessions for modern thought is NOT BIBLICAL . If its not biblical , it's not acceptable.
News flash ……..if you are getting messages from beyond our deminsion that don't line up with scripture , YOU ARE BEING DECEIVED . How do I know that? It's simple…..if you are getting contradictory messages THAT ARE ACTUALLY FROM GOD, your messages should be added to SCRIPTURE . But we know that's not possible. If you get messages that appose God's original message , it is FROM SATAN.
Santa is satan.. just flip the T and the A. Kids song….he knows when you are sleeping, he knows when your awake. He knows when you've been bad or good , so be good for goodness sake . Isn't that s description of God ?
As a new baby in Christ, you are in Satan's crosshairs . People like you are his no. 1 priority. You are hungry for knowledge and his goal is to twist your ideas of God .PLEASE PLEASE, BIBLE ONLY PERIOD ! ANY OTHER SOURCE IS DEMONIC.
As usual, TERRIFIC VIDEO/PODCAST!! Angela and Emmanuel,thank you both for all your research, sharing scripture and great comedy throughout start to finish! You definitely need to team up again. ❤
You guys are so sweet
Angela, thank you for sharing this video.
I really enjoyed a lot of it!
The only thing I'm questioning is about the Christmas trees.
I read the verses you mentioned in Leviticus 23:40 and Nehemiah 8:13-15.
Both Scriptures are referring to the Feast of Tabernacles.
They used trees to make booths to dwell in.
I can't find anything that says they decorated the trees.
The only trees I see that were used to decorate the temple were images of palm trees carved into the walls and doors.
(1 Kings 6:29 and Ezekiel 41)
I'm just finding it difficult to see how decorating a tree in your house is glorifying or celebrating Christ.
It would be nice if you could do a video of your tree and show us how you use it for the glory of Christ.
On another note, I'm assuming your reference to the garland of fruit and bells was referring to the bells and pomegranates that were attached to the hem of the High Priest's robe in Exodus 28:34 and 39:26.
That "garland" was only for the high priest, not for everyone.
Also, I noticed that Emmanuel mentioned "three wise men".
The Bible says that they brought Jesus three gifts but it never says that there were three wise men. According to most biblical scholars, there were most likely more than 3 wise men.
If you can find a Scripture that says different, please let me know.
I TOTALLY AGREE with everything else you said about Santa Claus and elves and all of the demonic stuff.
I love watching your videos!
Most women I've seen in ministry are anything BUT biblical, but you are one of the FEW women I actually enjoy listening to.
God bless you, Angela! ❤️🙏❤️
By the way….I really like your sweater! 😊
You're beautiful! 💖
Angela, this video was soooo good. You guys made all excellent points. And you both had me laughing out loud, and in the edge of my seat. So much was in this video. God bless you both.❤ All praises to God. God made and owns everything.🙏 👏
Would be awesome for @isaiahsaldivar to interview @emanueldaily
Hi Angela. Thank you for your video.
Origin police 😂
Great video!
Hello, David Pawson is my beloved Bible teacher and I will follow his advise with regard to Christmas- I won’t celebrate. Please, check here: https://youtu.be/G6T1SHezkHY?si=QjpCo2xtyltebsyS. There are full videos on this subject available on his channel. Thank you ❤️
Yes, an overweight, creepy old man who watches children all year, making list of who is worthy of gifts and who isn’t.
the determination of what is good and what is bad has children believing if you behave you get what you want so when children are preyed upon sexually, they are often given gifts for giving in. It is a pagan holiday that grooms children to be sexually abused. Much like Halloween we tell children not to take candy from strangers, but then we deliver them to strangers houses to get candy.
So you got me thinking about Elf on the Shelf so I looked up the creator. Seemed innocent enough and then I noticed she owned a company. Below is part of the bio. IMO, it’s literally a bastion of secular Christmas and has subtle, more nefarious undertones.
—-
Formerly CCA and B, LLC, The Lumistella Company is a beloved global children’s Christmas brand committed to telling the stories of Santa’s North Pole.
Lumistella is the name given to a magical Christmas comet which is the origin source for Christmas magic and all the characters who make the North Pole their home, including The Elf on the Shelf. It symbolizes the essence of the company’s ethos, reminding fans and employees alike to constantly look for the Spirit of Christmas.
I am taking all this in and will be renouncing all these things. I did elf on the shelf for the first time last year for my son, his name was Tonè the Snitch. Tonè is no longer with us, even before y’all said something. Everything y’all are saying hits hard, school is who told my son about Santa and Santa will be a no this year. I’m not welcoming these spirits into my home anymore.
I can sort of see where you're coming from with the whole Santa thing, I've actually heard that the concept of Santa scares a lot of kids, I personally think it's how the parents approach it and how deep into you get, some people just get way too obsessed with Santa and start putting him in place of Jesus. I'm from South Africa and I guess we're just a different breed here, were still very old school and mostly just celebrate Christmas the traditional Jesus way, we do tell our children about Santa,but not to that degree, we don't have chimneys here so that's already out,and we definitely don't leave milk and cookies, we are also not that obsessed with elves,that's kinda weird. We don't have Santa's in Malls, we don't let our children near strangers in this country,they might get kidnapped or molested or something,that's a very dangerous tradition. Sometimes in pre schools and primary schools the principal will dress up as Santa and hand out presents and take pictures with the children,but the children are aware that it's the principal and not the real Santa. We also don't really write Santa love letters, the children usually just write a list of presents they want and hand it to their parents to mail to Santa, our parents are usually very clear with us,that Santa is on a budget and can't afford outrageous things,and we might not get exactly what we want or everything. I don't think that fantasy or imagination,in moderation is bad especially with young children,since believing in Jesus in the first place requires imagination since you can't see him,fantasy stories can be used to teach children important lessons and about Jesus. C.S Lewis a famous Christian writer obviously agrees since he wrote a popular Christian fantasy book series,called the chronicles of Narnia, so if all fantasy is evil then is Narnia too? As for Adults watching or reading fantasy or horror stuff, in South Africa we are taught as children that just because someone on Tv does something, it doesn't mean that you can do it as well, like if you watch Tom and jerry and the mouse hits the cat with a hammer,that doesn't mean you turn around and go hit your brother with a hammer now, same goes for fantasy,just because the person on tv or in your book is a witch or a fairy or whatever doesn't mean you go and try to be one, you don't repeat or copy everything an imaginary character does, because you will get burned. I am Christian and so were my parents,I was taught my whole life that the spiritual realm is real and Satanism and Witchcraft exist. The magic in fantasy shows and books like Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings,Narnia etc does not exist, but still you don't go copying incantations and other stuff, you don't partake in it. You can watch/read something and find it interesting or entertaining without believing or partaking in it, I know many high schools both in SA and America,that have Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit as prescribed books,so are all those children who read those books and maybe find it interesting or entertaining going to hell? Why is Harry Potter so special that everyone is getting so worked up about it, when both Lord of the Rings and the Chronicles of Narnia are also fantasy children's series with witches/wizards and every fantasy creature imaginable in it,shouldn't they be banned or burned too? I can garuntee you there are worse books out there, the Entire Dark Romance genre for example it's just plain sick, the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina comics wich is based on literal Satanism and occult witchcraft, and turned into a tv show,yet no one seems bothered about that, no you have to go after innocent children's literature with a ton of beautiful lessons,about,Love,friendships, found family,bravery, remaining strong and hopeful in the midst of despair,that good/light will always conquer evil/darkness. I suppose that it's true what nearly every south African that goes to America and returns says,you people don't understand how to reason and your logic is messed up and doesn't make sense.
Thank you so much for this! I just learned about the pagan origins of Christmas and prayed to God if He didn’t want me to celebrate to please convict my heart. I didn’t feel a conviction and this video coming after my prayers is confirmation. I choose not to participate in all the Santa and North Pole festivities but I have my tree and garlands up in my apartment ❤
Have you ever researched and I mean really researched the biblical feasts ? When Christian’s embrace Yahweh’s set apart days it’s not as hard to let go of “most “ of the pagan origins that weigh down Christmas. It’s kinda like offering false fire. There’s nothing to redeem. It was never Jesus’s birthday .
It’s more of a cover up than a “redemption “.
One “Christian” lady went off on me because I suggested she refuse her pagan Christmas bonus since she’s so anti-Christmas.
When I asked her if she adheres to daylight savings and celebrates Labor Day she got even more enraged 😂. She was criticizing me for only drawing the line at Halloween but my point was “everyone draws the line somewhere…. including you ma’am” 😂
WAIT! I REMEMBER THIS GUY! I was following him on Facebook years ago! He had some funny videos that went viral back in the day, wow I’m so glad to see that he’s a Christian now! God bless you Emmanuel ❤
As a fine arts student, your testimony made me go search up art in the Bible and I came to the conclusion its fine as long as we do everything for the glory of God. Now this is my take on it, considering I felt The Holy Spirit leading me to that academy and actually testifying to others ( one of my collegues got saved, praise Jesus), I think if we make graven images and worship them instead of Him then we are sinning, ofcourse, but God is the greatest artist of all of us. Now, I read in the Old Testament that the first person to be filled with The Spirit of God was non other than an artist called Bezalel and like there were statues of cherubim in the temple as a decoration and it was ordered by God and thats an image of a heavenly creature. I just wanted to write this down because I couldnt watch your testimony after you said that all graven images are sin. I got scared and went to read The Word of God to see what He says about art. Now about Christmas, for now, I got nothing to say. If anybody has something to say about this topic, please do.
God bless you both.
I was also a new ager and at the same time a professing believer, but I was not saved.. He saved me from a lot of other things as well.
All glory to God <3
