First and foremost, Jesus is no longer a baby in a manger. He has ascended to the right hand of the Father. Some people like to think of him as a child, that way he is so harmless and insignificant. Christmas is a holiday based on pagan traditions brought to us by the catholics. Jesus was most likely born in October. But, if you want to use Christmas to celebrate the birth of the Lord, why do all of the other things that have nothing to do with him, and alot of those things actually dishonor him. I know some people think they are actually doing him a favor by showing up in church that one day a year to celebrate his birth. Let's remember him everyday, not just his supposed "birthday".

I agree with that.
Christmas is primarily a religious holiday and I feel that the mentality that Santa Clause is the reason for this celebration is not appropriate.
Instead of marketing and money-making, christmas should be viewed upon as a time for family to get together and celebrate the birth of christ.
I know that some countries in Europe teach children that the christ child brings the presents to them. I like that tradition :-)

If that is what is important to you, then I have to ask, why are you leaving the Christ child out of Christmas? You aren't responsible for controlling how other people celebrate Christmas, or any other holiday. You are not in charge of what religion people are. You are in charge, and responsible for, the way you celebrate this holiday. So, ask yourself, what have you done to honor what is important to yourself this holiday?
This season is a great time to ask yourself some serious questions about what spirituality means to you. What is the difference between belief and dogma? What can you do to enact your spiritual beliefs in your life, without trying to dictate what others belief? Have a great season and a happy, thoughtful Christmas.

Yep.
I'd be willing to bet a paycheck that if you asked 100 6 year olds what Christmas is for, 90 of them would say SANTA

No. Every Christian that celebrates Christmas knows why we are celebrating Christmas.
Non-Christians who celebrate Christmas do it for their own reasons and these reasons are, or should be, of no significance to Christians.
Relax, no one is out to get you.

Yep! Today it is about money and commercialism. My wife and I don't think that way. We put up out our Nativity scene anyway.

Christ child? You mean the superstitious god/human hybrid abomination against reason and logic. There are no such things as gods.
