Christmas is great. You get presents and you sit by fires. It brings friendship to people around the world.

Celebrate if you want to. My family is part "christian" however none are really devout or practicing the religion. I married into a Jewish household and I am raising my children Jewish. I still enjoy Christmas, it brings family and friends together in a warm and loving time and we still celebrate it. You show the people that you love them by giving gifts or just being together. It is a wonderful time of year and you don't need to believe or practice the religious aspect of it to do so. My kids, when growing up only thought of Christmas regarding Santa Clause bringing presents not the religious aspect. Enjoy yourself!

A Christmas tree is not christian, it's from when Druids worshipped them as they lived all year, so they were a symbol of life. It just got absorbed into Christmas celebrations. I'm sure Cocoa is not christian, and don't Muslims believe that Jesus was a prophet? No reason not to celebrate! I'm not a christian, but it's good to think that there is one time in the year when people hope for peace!

If you do not believe the religious aspect of Christmas, which is God himself ("In the beginning was 'The Word' and the 'Word' was with God, and the 'Word' was God. 1 Jn. 1:1) becoming flesh, a baby;
then simply celebrate the "commercialized aspect of Christmas" which is the tree decorated up, the gift giving, and family all getting together on Dec. 24th eve. and Dec. 25.
This is all I can suggest that you do, as long as it is not against your religion, and you do Not want Allah getting angry with you. So search your heart. It is not worth having major fights with your muslim family members over it.
Good Luck to you.
THANK YOU.

Im Buddhist and i celebrate christmas. Think of it thisway. Christians call it as the birth of christ. I think of it as a time to go out wiht friends and family, catch up with each other, have a nice dinner and play video games and other stuff. Did you know that the Romans made christmas because the jewish have hannukah and the muslims have ramadan and the Romans wanted something fun in the cold months....i think.....o well

Muslims shouldn't have fun Christmas Becuase Christmas Is A Christian trip And this is in regards to the Worship Of Jesus no longer Allah and perhaps they think of Now That this is approximately TThe Worship Of Allah even regardless of the undeniable fact that it is not/

Well I am not christian but I celebrate christmas.
I don't go to church or anything, but I give gifts, and try to spread joy. Saying merry christmas is fine.
Muslim religion says nothing against spreading happiness so I don't see why you couldn't.
And hot cocoa really is the greatest.
Happy holidays!

There is nothing wrong with celebrating the "Holiday spirit" side of Christmas. I am Buddhist and I still put up a tree and give presents. It is a great time to see family and friends. Go ahead, enjoy yourself, you don't need to justify it. Have fun!

Muslims don't beleive in giving Christmas gifts, christmas trees or say merry x-mas.
Anyway it is no sin to celebrate x-mas if its for the
right reason the gift of giving like God gave us
his son, the ultimate gift. I'm not saying they have the right date of birth for celebrating but it
recalls the birth of our lord.

i think that its fine that you love christmas i mean your religion is important but people have a different way of looking at religious beliefs for an example not to put anyone out there but gay marriage. theres christians that are homosexual and in the bible god wanted man and woman together not girl and girl or man and man... but i dont see anything wrong with their beliefs just like i believe that if you want to you should be able to celebrate christmas!!!!
