Why are all the man made Christian holidays, and most other holidays celebrated in the U.S. actually based, or are pagen.
-Halloween
-Easter
-Christmas
It even says in the Bible not to Celebrate Christmas.

Christian holidays were made because Pagan religions were the religions that were prominent before Christianity came along. In order for Christians to make it easier for Pagans to convert the Christians changed the Pagan holidays into Christian ones and just renamed them. So basically they stole them.

the bible show that Jesus never celebrate his birthday that is christmas, for two reason the first Eclessiastes 7:1-2 "A name is better than good oil, and the day of death than the day of one’s being born." Jesus knew that that is why he gave more importance to his death rather than his birthday.
Second Jesus born Tisri 15 (October 1) not in December 25
that date is in the bible but the majority of people even know that is there.

I have always had issues with that... Even before I became Muslim I stopped celebrating most 'holidays.'

You misunderstand. Once christianity stole these holidays, then they get to claim them as their own. It has worked with their god, which they stole from the jews, and with most everything else. Why not with holidays too.

Yes, "Thou shalt not celebrate Christmas" can be found in the Gospel According to Nitwits, chapter 3, verse 2.
