I'm a Christian and I'm quite happy with the name and would not want it changed in the same way I would not want Diwali changed to something else.

no it celebrates Christ's birth as you know and the words also means Christ's mass

Well of course you would be happy with it,being a christian and it having the word christ in there!!!!As it is really a pagan holiday hijacked by christianity,like pretty much everything else to do with christianity it would be better named stolenbychristiansmas.

You seem to be assuming that Christmas has something to do with Christianity...there is increasing less evidence each year to show a link between the two!

It doesn't matter.
I just think the Pagans should have sued Christians over making a holiday on the same day as a Pagan holiday for publicity.

Christmas is (for most people) a time when we come together with our families and friends and NOT a celebration of the life of Christ.
I don't see a need to change it, but I understand people calling it XMAS because they (like me) don't follow the Chistian faith.

Christianity has been around for 2,000 years... Hey, Jesus is coming soon! give it another 20,000 years and if he doesn't come... maybe Christianity would need some revamping! But until make the best you can out of it! Are you making any money on it?

It should be called family day, because that`s what it`s all about now, if you ask kids nowadays what Christmas is about I bet 90% will say presents and Santa

Why on such ideas come to your mind ? Tomorrow U may ask why my parent's name can not be changed. These names r related to our belief. I'm Hindu but I'll be the last person to accept such kind of changes. These r part of our culture irrespective of who we r.

I don't think it should exist but if it does we should let the Pagans who came up with the holiday name it, Yuletide might do, as might Summer Solstice (or Winter Solstice for those who have their air conditioners off).
