Seeing as it's not even really his birthday, and all the silly decorations, and Santa being the main focal point for children...

I don't think he would enjoy all the blatant consumerism. Or that is the only time of year people think about doing good for others. But I do think he was not against celebration(hey, He can turn water into wine after all). Also that he was not against goodwill and helping others in need, and spending time with families. If you teach your children correctly, it can be possible that Santa is a part of the holiday, but also that we understand the story of Jesus and the importance of helping others who are in need, not just around the holidays.

Nope. I think he would be extremely disgusted at the materialism and selfishness it creates in people. I think if those who did celebrate his supposed (notice that is the keyword) birth, did things for the less fortunate, like clothed and fed a needy family or helped with orphans and the elderly whos families left them in an institution, he would most likely enjoy seeing the love and compassion. But since christmas is mainly based on greed and selfishness I do not think he enjoys it one bit. Except for the few who do good things for God (not Jesus, as he was a human and prophet). ANd the whole santa thing really makes it that much worse, teaching children to fear a fictional fat man who will only bring coal if they are naughty. Dumb really!!

Oh He would love it alright. Having that little Manger scene set up besides Santa and Rudolph and gaudy lights. Poor guy only gets 3 wise men and a coupla animals to hang with. While the rest got Ipods and Gameboys. Probaly like you feel when Grandma gets you a towel for a pesent.

More importantly, would he be able to tell us why the little girl doll with no visible defect was exiled to the Island of Misfit Toys? Would he cure her by laying on hands?
Seriously, though, I think he'd be appalled by the consumerism and most of the gaudiness but thrilled by the acts of generosity people do when caught up in the spirit of Christmas.

I don't think He would be pleased with all the commercialism involved. However, He's pleased when we get together to be with Him - celebrating His birthday is a nice way to tell Jesus you love Him, even if it's not on the correct day.

He would be revolted. He would say "This is revolting." A similar comment was made by God his father when he discovered that humans masturbate. He actually told the Angel Elias and Jesus both that the entire human race and all their customs make him sick.

What would you feel if your relatives celebrate your birthday during his birthday?

no that aspect of it, but it is our responsibility to teach our children the true meaning of Christmas
