In what way? I don't believe in god but I believe in Christmas as a way to reflect on the past year. Spend time with friends and family. Reflect what is important to me. Give thanks to family and friends. Understand how lucky I am for this life and the people around me. So, there's no Jesus. Just the people that I know. and are here in my life.
My own personal Grinch! How Christmasy is that?

As an agnostic, I do not "believe" in Christmas, since that is not possible for me. However, I celebrate the day with my family members: buy gifts, decorate my apartment, send "Holiday" (nonreligious) cards, and generally love the occasion as I have throughout my life. I recognize no conflict between my acknowledging the day and my inability to believe in Christ! I imagine that devout Christians might condemn me for my audacity, but my theist relatives do not.

Yes I do believe in Christmas. I know that Christ wasn't truly born in Dec., but I am willing to celebrate His birth on Dec. 25th. It is about giving of yourself to others, and helping others. That is when most people get generous.

Well, it exists doesn't it? Millions of people around the world celebrate it every year, don't they? Of course I believe in Christmas. Now, ask me if I believe in the idea behind Christmas....

uh Jesus was born some time in March. They stole Christmas from European pagans... it was the festival of the return of the light on the darkest day of the year. Jesus NEVER claimed to be "The true living God" or any other such crap. He said follow my father, who is actually ALL of our fathers, not some reference that he's divine. Emperor Constantine created Jesus's divinity 400 years after his death. All researchable, historical facts that Christians seem to ignore. Celebrate the beauty and peace with yr family.

No, dear one, I believe in God. And I believe it's ok to celebrate the birthday of the King of king and Lord of lords.
God bless!

Very much so. I celebrate all 12 days and nights with the Yule wreath, Yule log, decorations, lights on the tree, exchanging of gifts, feasting and toasting, singing, standing under the mistletoe.
I LOVE my heathen holiday, thanks.
