Christmas is about what you want it to be about. Solstice (the shortest day of the year starts demeber 21 on December 25th the days start to get longer. Soltice was celebrated many years before christ was born. The exact date of Jesuses birthday was never recorded. (look it up guys if you are Christain you should at lest read the bible) Soltice was about worshiping death. The death of the year the death of the sun. the death of pretty much everything right before a new cycle started of the sun. The darkest day of the year. The church decided to celebrate the bearth of a new sun insteed of the death of the sun i.e. just ignore the whole death thing. They decided to celebrate the bearth of Jesus on that day to really drive in the bearth cycle. And also to handle the pagen holiday of soltice, which was full of sin and hearsay.
I celebrate Christmas because it is cold and the warmth of peoples hearts and minds warm you through the winter. The thought of good will toward men keeps me conforted all through the cold dark winter.
hope this helps

I do not think that it is wrong to give presents at Christmas. But when you even look at the name it says the true reason for the season- Christmas- means "Christ's birth". Christ is the present that we need to be sharing with others.

OK, I'm confused, didn't the whole Jesus / Christian thing involve 3 Kings bearing gifts for the baby ?
I know some people are over the top about presents, BUT the present thing started with Jesus & the Kings, no ?

Christmas is to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, not Santa Clause. The gift-giving has, of course, blossomed all out of proportion to the act of the Wise Men giving gifts to Mary and the Baby Jesus.

It's about the birth of Christ, spending time with loved ones and about presents and santa; at least to me. I guess it's different to everyone.

its meant to be about celibrating the birth of christ but not anymore, and how many people can say they just enjoy giving presents and dont care if they get nothing. its all about shops making as much money as they possibly can.

Because it is Jesus's birth we are celebrating. The stores don't want us to remember that or their sale go down.

because that is not what christmas is about alot of people belive that is wat christmas is about but people always forget about jesus being born that is the true christmas meaning. The second meaning of christmas is being with family and being thankful we were thought of because somebody got us a president.
