I know, some people spell it x-mas, but I've never heard anyone tell anyone else, MERRY X-MAS, no, of chourse not, because it is Christmas, the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. And you know what? My daughter, who is 4 1/2 years old pointed out the sweetest thing to me the other day, you know what she said? Everyone gets presents on Jesus' birthday. Isn't that sweet?

That's nice.
I believe the origins of Christmas time is actually winter solstice though, a pagan concept. I would have to give credit to them, therefore holding up the X-mas.
A family can't have Christmas unless there is a Christmas Tree, right? The Christmas Tree is a pre-Christian Pagan (German) concept. The concept was adopted by Christians globally. Actually, are there pine trees near the birthplace of jesus?

Yeah, but how come it's never pronounced "Christ"-mass?
And wouldn't Jesus have actually celebrated Hannukah?
BTW, Jesus says "everyone gets presents on my birthday, but me. Where's my own g*d-damned Furby or Tickle-me-Elmo?"

Jesus was not born on December 25.

Yes I have and I prefere to spell it that way rather than"x-mas" which in my opinion takes Christ out of Christams and Christ is what it's all about. -That was so cute what your daughter said!:)

Christmas is not Christ's birthday. The origin of the world "Christmas" originates from the Latin word for "Christ's Mass," so what you're saying is "Happy Christ's Death."
