What if you do not give gifts and just pray and stay in the house and don't celebrate Christmas, and still believe there's God, is that will make you a sinner?.

And just how does this make me the sinner? I am doing the will of God by not taking up a Pagan festival. Read Exodus 32:4-10, then get back to me and let me know if I am not pleasing God by staying away from Pagan things.

If one doesn't give gift and just pray and stay in home and don't celebrate christmas but still belive in there god is not a sinner, because i think the objective is that you should belive in god and remember him daily.

Of course not. My family doesn't do much with gifts. But its celebrating Christ's birth (Yes, we know how wasn't born on the 25'th of December!) and really, gifts aren't part of that. Just sitting at home and praying is probably more in the spirit of it all than is unwrapping gifts.

You are still celebrating Christmas. The gift that you are giving is
to JESUS. And no, you are not a sinner just because you are not
doing your celebrating like other Christians.

No of course not. Christmas is not about giving gifts. In fact many don't have any idea the true meaning or source of christmas.

Yes,im a Christian but we never believe that Christ was born on that Particular date.
We always have Thanksgiving Mass and Prayer at Church before the end of the Year aside from our 2x a week Mass.

no,i don't think Christian won't celebrate Christmas.as this is once a yr celebration,it won't be so stingy to give gifts even if he's a miser n very poor,a simple xmascard is considered a gift too.
Merry Christmas.

Christmas is about being with others and thanking those close to us for their love. It is about doing good and helping others in need.
So no, I don't think celebrating Christmas alone is what God intended, it is being with others that he wanted.
Merry Christmas!!!!!
