I think he is sad that Christmas has become so commercialized and most of the time we are so busy ripping open gifts, etc that we never even think of him on this HIS day of celebration..He wasn't born on Christmas but this is the day we celebrate it.. If it were not for his birth, there would be no Christmas and now people are taking Christ out of Christmas including the word Christmas..i think he's really sad..We give gifts to others..how often to we think about this being the time of the year that Jesus came as a gift to us.

God hates Christmas

I think God is probably looking down on us and asking how we screwed things up so badly.
Many people are under the assumption that Christmas has it's origins in Christianity. However, Roman officials decided on December 25th as the date for Christmas because they were trying to convert their heavily Pagan nation to the religion. The Pagan's Mid-Winter festival, Saturnalia, was held at this time of the year. In order to lure them over, many holidays that are now associated with Christianity were decided by the dates of corresponding Pagan holidays and festivals.
Christmas was more like Mardi Gras than the holiday we know today up until as late as the late 19th century. Yes, that's right, Mardi Gras! In England, during the 17th century, Protestants had taken over the country. Being very religiously strict they actually outlawed Christmas for it's vulgarity. Of course the people wanted their celebration so they in turn reinstated the Monarchy.
In the United States, after the Revolutionary War, anything English as shunned. Therefore Christmas was reinvented. It was decided the holiday would be about family and togetherness rather than raucous partying.
The Christmas tree also has it's roots in Pagan culture. Evidence of "Christmas" trees date back as far as Egypt. Santa Claus in his modern form was also only recently invented. In the 1940's he was revamped as the jolly old man we all know. Actually this was done by advertising agencies and stores of the time in order to help sell merchandise. Before that, Santa was more in line with the partying ideology of the Pagan Christmas. In fact, Santa's image evolved from a Pagan gnome like creature. Very much unlike what we know today.

Ok, this is not "jesus's" birthday... christmas is derrived from a pagan holiday worshipping the sun god. it has no anchor in true religion. and IF there is a god that is actively involoved in the life of humans than i am sure he is pretty angry about his followers celebrating a pagan holiday in his name.

its not Jesus' birthday. from what I have heard and read, many believe that Jesus was born in the spring time. Why the spring time? I think because that was the weather condition in the Garden of Eden was like and that is what the weather condition in the New Heaven and New Earth will be like forever. Forever in spring, new beginnings.
