Our Christmas is always Jesus based you know Jesus is the reason for the season. I like to go to Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve. We have a tree and presents but Jesus is always in our hearts...

Always. We attend Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve. We also have an Advent Wreath that we light for the four weeks prior to Christmas. We also bake a cake and sing Happy Birthday to Jesus and offer Him spiritual gifts such as promises to Him to volunteer or pray. Then there is Christmas season.
Peace Be With You,
Debra

Christmas has turned into a secular holiday -- which means that not everyone associates it with Jesus' birthday.
Most Christians celebrate Christmas with a mass, but there are many people who simply don't observe all the rituals but still call themselves Christians.
It is my belief that spirituality is a personal thing and no one has the right to judge anyone else on this issue.

It doesn't matter because Christmas is not the celebration of Jesus' birthday. The Bible say to only celebrate his death.

The only thing I celebrate Christmas is because I get days off and it's time to get drunk. I could careless about Jesus.

I go to church if it is Sunday. My family used to have a really nice tradition of baking him a birthday cake for Christmas.
And as for whoever said Jesus's birthday is in March, it is in January and December 25 is a date picked to symbolize his birthday because so many people disagree about when it really was.

I don't celebrate Jesus's Birthday. I Celebrate Christmas. I don't know Jesus. I don't generally celebrate the birth of people I've never met. If he knocks at my door he's welcome to cookies and hot cider. Open invite J-money!

This is rather silly, as the "Church" is actually the body of believers according to christian tradition and scripture, NOT a building. So you cannot GO to church as you state but you are supposed to fellowship WITH the church; with the members.
Church = corporal body of believers, NOT place, building, structure, etc.
I find it hard to imagine that I, not being a christian or a believer in gods, know this when it appears professed christians don't even know their own faith!
Oh well...

Christmas is a nice blend of christianity and paganism. The tree represented life. The day was chosen to make 'pagan-christians' all happy. If, Christ was born during a census call, it probably would of been in the early Fall...august, september...
