Christmas is not mentioned in the New Testament. The birth is noted, but Good Friday and Easter were celebrated. Christmas came about in 1223 when St Francis decided to celebrate a special mass in honor of the birth, hence Christ's Mass which he called the Feast of Feasts. It was staged in a cave set up to look like manger.
