Probably because they don't consider Christ their savior....

Jews didn't believe Jesus was "the Christ" they were looking for.. Why would they celebrate His birth? A Jewish Christian might celebrate Christian but a traditional Jew would have no reason to celebrate Christmas.

Religion 101
They don't believe that Jesus is the Messiah
Even Jesus did not celebrate his birthday --it is a Pagan tradition brought into Christianity by Pagan converts.
Easter was always the main holiday of the Church --Christmas wasn't even celebrated until a few centuries in -look up the pagan history of Mithras for more details.

Because Jews do not consider Jesus as their Messiah. There for not seeing the reason for celebrating the birth of Christ.

They believe that Jesus was just some dude, not the son of God.
No need to throw a party for his birthday(which technically is in the spring, and Christmas was originally a pagan festival christians jacked from the Romans). Don't know how they feel about Santa Claus.

For all intensive purposes they do. They took a minor holiday, Hanukkah, and made it into a big deal with candle lighting ceremonies, dreidels and eight days of presents. Most families even decorate a "Hanukkah bush"
Of course celebrating Dec. 25th goes back before the Egyptian celebration of the virgin birth of Horus attended by 3 wise men who followed a star in the east.

Jesus was probably born in early autumn, most Jews don't accept that Jesus is the Messiah...many people don't buy into the pagan money celebration....

By "Jews" I'm assuming you're talking about people who accept Judaism as their religion rather than the Hebrew people (since some Hebrew people are christians and DO celebrate Christmas). The reason that they don't celebrate Christmas is because Christmas is a Christian only holiday. It commemorates the birth of Jesus, whom christians believe to be the christ. Judaism does not recognize Jesus as the christ.

Jews believe that Jesus was a fake--they are still waiting for the real Christ to rock up--so they see no point in celebrating a fakes birthday

For the same reason Christians do not celebrate Ramadam.
It is not their holiday so they do not celebrate it.
DUH.

Jews don't believe that Jesus is the Messiah, and they should know. After all it IS their religion.
