Almost all American's celebrate Christmas. But not all for the same reason. The whole point behind Christmas is Jesus's Birth (or Christ's Birth) hence the word "Christmas". Why is it that today, so many people do not believe in god, still celebrate Christmas? What are your feelings on Christmas?

You are absolutely right! Most people do not believe in God and some do not want to hear about him either. I try talking to certain ones about him and what he's done for me and they do not want to hear it. BUT, they celebrate because it is not about Jesus anymore. They took him out of Christmas. Now it is about Santa Claus and Rudolph, the elves, frosty the snowman, and all this other foolishness. What in the world does all that have to do with Jesus? NOTHING!! AND THAT IS WHY THEY CELEBRATE IT. It is suppose to be his birthday but he wasn't even invited to this big party that the world throws. They replaced him (Christ ) with an X. I celebrate Jesus everyday so I don't need a special day set aside to give gifts to him or everbody else. I can do that all year. His gift to me was enough, salvation. My gift to him is to live my life obeying his commandments. I celebrate what he did for me, he saved me from my sins and took away all the hurt and pain of bad relationships, lack of trust for certain people, and he took away my depression, and misery. Now I am so happy with him in my life, I cannot hardly stand myself. I have so much peace, and so much joy being saved the bible way. I praise and thank God for my new life with him. That is what it's all about to me. Praising him for what he did for me. Matthew 1:21 says: For she shall bring forth a son, and thou shall call his name JESUS for he shall save his people from their sins. That is why he came. The greatest gift to me is Jesus and his great salvation. He doesn't want gifts, he wants us to accept his gift, salvation from sin. God bless you!

Christmas is too commercialized now. I think people that do not believe in Jesus celebrate purely out of tradition and out of ignorance. Christmas needs to get back to the true meaning. Jesus is the reason for the season.

I've never celebrated the day due to religious reasons. People do it because they always have. It's truly a pagan holiday overall with the only thing Christian about it the name. The "crucified savior birthday" on the 25th (Mithra), the decorated trees, the gift giving, the parties, the mistletoe, the yule log, etc, were around long before Jesus was.
