Yes they will. Unfortunately, the real reason for the season is lost on most people. It's all about the presents and keeping up with the "Jones '". I have recently dedicated my life to the Lord and look forward to celebrating the best CHRISTmas EVER...this time for the right reasons. Thanks for your question and God bless you.

Most people who do not believe in Christ will celebrate because the world has made Christmas to be so commerial and what they are celebrating is not the birth of Christ. To some people Christmas has nothing to do with being spiritual so they do not understand why some of us say Christ is the Reason for the Season. Just as they continue to give the fake santa all the praise for getting their kids gifts and the truth is they worked hard to get all those toys for their children. So let the children know mommy and daddy brought them not some man in a red suit that only shows up once a year to get the credit for something that mommy and daddy do all year long. Oh, well life goes and have a Merry CHRISTmas. Without Christ it's just a mas.

I am not a Christian and I have never celebrated christmas. What do you mean by celebrating Christmas? Going to church? Giving gifts? Making lots of food and eating it up? Being with family? Decorating the house? I have never celebrated this holiday and don't even know the tradition that well. Eeven so, I get so excited when Christmas is here because you can just feel the spirit. There are lights everywhere, families are together for at least 1 or 2 nights during the year. And everyone around you is just a little more generous. That's what I like about Christmas even though I am not a part of the celebration neither have I gotten any gifts or such. But this year I am unusually excited. I feel like decorating and making lots of food for my family, watching lots of cheesy and funny christmas movies, pretty much do anything I want. So even though I am not Christain I am still going to celebrate b/c it feels like during this day everyone's mind (hopefully) will be at peace and families and loved one are together. Merry Christmas everyone!! :)

Christmas or Christmas Day is an annual holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus. The Nativity refers to the birth of Jesus.
According to tradition, Jesus was born in the city of Bethlehem in a stable, surrounded by farm animals and shepherds, and Jesus was born into a manger from the Virgin Mary assisted by her husband Joseph.

Therefore we can say that Christmas is strictly issued from a Christian tradition.

But you should OPEN your mind: GOD is also celebrated in all other religions of the world . Christians do not have the monopoly of God on that day. That's narrow-mindedness at its best.

And that's also My Best Answer for Christmas!

I have a neighbor, the family is from Iran. They are Muslim, they have a 10 yr old son, he was born here. They celebrate Christmas as they would the 4th of July or any other non religious holiday. They put up a Christmas tree and exchange gifts put they do not believe in the Virgin Mary or in Christ as God.

Practically everyone in the world, all religions as well as those with no religion, celebrate the winter solstice. We celebrate that the darkest days of winter have passed and the days have finally started getting longer. Those of us in predominantly Christian nations call this holiday Christmas, as that's what our culture has named it. But it is absurd to say that Jesus is "the reason for the season." Seasonal celebrations of the solstice were around thousands of years before Jesus was supposedly born. The Christians co-opted the "season" and tried to make it all about their guy, but that's not how it started, and that's not what I celebrate on December 25.

What god are you talking about? There are 2,500 known deities, you chose the one you believe in. Pagans celebrate Yule, beginning with the Solstice when we propitiate the Sun to come back and warm the earth. We decorate trees, mostly outside as we have done for centuries. We respect other peoples' beliefs and all have good holidays.

i think everyone who wants to celebrate Christmas should celebrate it for its true meaning.which is the birth of Christ. put that old Santa clause on a different day. for the people that say DEC 25 isn't the real day of Jesus birth we know that .its the day were giving to celebrate his birth.

Well, miss smarty pants, if you knew anything about Christmas, you'd know that it wasn't originally a Christian holiday, and Jesus wasn't even born on Dec. 25th. The Christians simply adopted the date, just like they adopted other ancient concepts like peace, and universal good will towards all... the very reasons *I* celebrate Christmas.

Of course. Christmas was a festival long before it was chosen to represent Jesus' birthday. Visits, family reunions, gifts, and revelry are good no matter what your religious beliefs.
