I have a secular/nonChristian view, but I think Christmas should be a celebration. Look at President's Day. It's the combined celebration/observance of the birthdays of Lincoln and Washington. We don't use those days to mourn them. Birthdays of deceased people are often observed by celebrating their lives.
If any day should be mourned by Christains, it should be the day of Jesus' death, I'd think.

We celebrate Christmas, the birth of Christ, because the Good News has come. The Logos, the Word. A birth is always joyous!

Why on earth would Christians mourn the coming of the Son of God, the world's Redeemer?
I'm not religious myself, but I can appreciate the joy most Christians associate with the man they call Savior. Even his death on the cross was according to God's plan, in their view--a joyful sacrifice made freely out of love for all mankind.

its a time to rejoice the birth of our Savior if you know the story of Christ birth you would also no that every male baby that was born any were around that area was killed because the prophecy fore told of who was being born so yes for many family then at that time it was a time of morning thousand of babies were killed for months after. He lived on this earth as man for 33 years and then he to was slaughter like a lamb for us even you you see my Lord Loves even you and it really does hurt to see so many people deny his love i just wonder if My father God is heart broken too because so many of his creations hate him when he has so much Love for them God Bless you

Why would we mourn our Saviour's birth? He was put on this earth to die for our sins so we can be reborn. My sins are forgiven because of Jesus. For this I celebrate his birth and death.

Huh? You must mean if Easter is an observance of His death...Then the answer is: No, if He hadn't died for our sins, we'd all still be going to Hell.
If you're being sarcastic, that's different.
