I have never done it in the past, but I will be singing it in about 4 and a half hours from now. I will also go to mass in the morning to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Christmas is nothing to do with either Christianity or Islam but it does have it's origins in the midwinter festival and many other basically pagan rites but since much of it is a celebration of nature rather than religion everyone should be able to enjoy it and be happy together despite religion!! The ancient European pagans celebrated the midwinter festival and a number of other festivals long before Christianity ever existed! Babylonians celebrated the feast of the Son of Isis with gluttonous eating and drinking, and gift giving and the goddess of fertility, love, and war. The Romans held a festival on 25 December called “Dies Natalis Solis Invicti, celebrating their own god Sol Invictas - PAGAN. The Persian god Mithras, the Syrian sun god Elah Gabal, the German Sol, the Greek Helios and the Mesopotamian Shamash. But also Saturnalia, honouring Saturn, the God of Agriculture. The law courts and schools were closed. No public business could be transacted an this is where the holidays originated - ALL PAGAN!!! Wax tapers were given by the more humble to their superiors. The origin of the Christmas candle - PAGAN!! In Rome groups of costumed went from house to house entertaining their people. And this was where the carolling Christmas tradition originated PAGAN!! Statues of the Mother and lover or Mother and son were paraded through the streets not only in Italy but also in Africa, Spain, Portugal, France, Germany and Bulgaria. Thus, the symbolism of the Heavenly Virgin and the infant child paraded on a yearly basis are not of Christian origin. They stem from the Mother-goddess religion, which is very ancient ENTIRELY PAGAN!!. Scandinavian countries celebrated Yule honouring Thor - PAGAN. In Germania (not Germany) they celebrated midwinter night followed by 12 wild nights of eating and drinking. The 12 days of Christmas PAGAN!! The church under Pope Julius I declared that Christ’s birth would be celebrated on December 25 in 350 AD in order to try to hijack the PAGAN festivals but it was largely ignored. Christians did not really celebrate Christmas until 378 but it was then dropped in 381 and not resurrected until 400. The Christmas tree stems from pagan tradition and ritual surrounding the Winter Solstice, which included the use of holly boughs ivy and other foliage as an adaptation of pagan tree worship. Holly and ivy represented male and female. Mistletoe was considered a sacred plant, and the custom of kissing under the mistletoe began as a fertility ritual - all PAGAN!! Santa Claus came from the Dutch “Sinterklaas” and was a tall figure riding a white horse through the air and usually accompanied by Black Peter, an elf who punished disobedient children. Also the origin of the reindeer, sleigh and the elves ALL PAGAN!! The modern red coated Santa was brought about by coca cola!! America actually banned Christmas several times and is the originator of the expression “Happy Holidays” which came about because of the pagan origins of Christmas to include all religions and traditions!! The Venerable Bede, an early Christian writer pointed out that the Christian church absorbed Pagan practices when it found the population unwilling to give up the festivals. Thus a lot of what Christians now see as Christians practices are in fact pagan!!! Christmas is the time of year christians strive to prove just how pagan they have become!!!

Since Jesus Christ was not born in December 25th its unlikely anyone will be singing happy birthday.In fact he was likely born in October as the scriptures talk about the shepherds in attendance to their flocks which they would not have been in December as it gets exceptionally cold even in the Holy Lands.The date 25th December comes from the pagan festival of Saturnalia and was adopted by the "Christian church" by the emperor constantine who was trying to unite the pagan worshippers of the Sun God Ra whose festival was Dec 25th and Early christians who worshipped the son of god.....

what is the point of singing happy birthday to jesus when it is common knowledge that he was not born in December. the only birthday to be celebrated at this time is the sun's birthday with respect to the winter solstice. and a happy yuletide to you too.

I do on The 35 of September because The 25th is just another pagan date adjusted to suit the pagan calender of the winter soltace.

I sure did. I sang it at 1 a.m. in the morning and today! I'm so happy God sent Him to this earth to save us from Hell. We just need to accept him as Lord and Savior over our lives!

Well, no because you sing it on someone's birthday, and no one knows when Jesus' birthday really was.
