Christmas isn't even Christian

Don't buy into Christianity?
Well Christmas isn't a Christian holiday anyways, it was originally a Pagan holiday and you guys just changed the name (never bothered to change any of the customs, etc..) Now it's more of a secular holiday than anything else. Why are you so worried? Just wish people Happy Holidays.

Well, it would be kind of hard to believe. However, Christmas has become more commercialized and materialistic. We have made it into a holiday of giving/receiving presents, hosting big parties, and waiting for Santa Claus.
Christmas is truly about the birth of Christ, not Santa Claus. So I wouldn't really have anything to say if they didn't buy into it. What they believe is what they believe.

I would respect their view and tell them to have a nice day...
I, myself, thinks buying presents by the carloads is just commercialized.. I do not buy in to the festivities like most. We give each other one gift and thats all. We are focused on the real meaning of Christmas

I cannot imagine being in a situation where that would happen but I think that I would say, "ya, I used to be a hater of the Creator and now I am a Lover of the Lord".
I value Free choice, Free speech.
I believe in Freedom

Buy into what? The commercialism that has become Christmas? Yeah, I would agree....I don't buy into that anymore either.
I do celebrate the birth of Christ, though.

I'd say, "Okay, I won't get you a gift!"
but seriously, everyone knows Christmas isn't suppose to be commerical. though i can't say I have a problem with gifts....
Christ first, presents last

Me neither.
I do, however, have an amazingly fulfilling relationship with the creator of the universe who sent his son to die for me.
Have you met him?
