Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus for members of the Christian religion.
The important thing is that he was born, and his nominal birthrate of December 25th seems as good as any to celebrate his birth and his message - because it is a wonderful catalyst for enjoying the precious and simple pleasures of being, if only for a brief time, close together in the warm familiarity of friends and family, renewing relationships and sharing memories.
So, for me is Jesus - thank you for asking this.
Mary Christmas to all of you!

Neither - Mistletoe is THE xmas must-have. I need every excuse I can get to become sexually-involved with all those delicious girlies. So many of them and so little time!

Well, I don't know how.
Don't they have this thing all wrong?
Jesus wasn't really born on Christmas was he?
I think it has something to do with Easter or something.
I'm not really sure, I could be wrong.
Oh well! Santa it is.

Santa because he brings joy and a spirit of festivity. Plus he's fat and quite happy the way he is.
...i thought Jesus was born in Jan??! (kidding!!!)

It is the message that is most important.
Personally my thoughts go out to the poor animals, who had there shelter invaded by a mother in labour and the following entourage.

Santa, if only because he's a representation of the spirit of giving. However, I don't plan to teach my kids that either is more than a story.

Niether, I just can't wait for the whole tawdry episode to be done with. Ideal xmas? A hot curry and a bottle of single malt whiskey with lashings of solitude.

Santa' means 'saint'. The saints are those who have the mind of Jesus, who is eternal, so there can be no special time regarding Jesus. If you have Christmas, you have no Jesus at all. Christmas is for those without Jesus, especially for those who oppose him. That is why even criminals keep Christmas.
