Answer 2

The Bible says nothing about 'celebrating' it.
When Jesus was born, it was a wonderful event, but jesus never mentioned his birth. Jesus said a man's death was more important, because by then he would have achieved something. At birth nothing has been achieved.

Answer 3

I'm not, I'll be celebrating the winter solstice as usual

Answer 4

I'm not.

I think, instead- I'll celebrate Commercialmas like every other American, thank you.

Answer 5

I think that I am going to skip that celebration . . . if it even is one.

Answer 6

Let the whole world know that if they are not willing to celebrate the birth of CHRIST, they should refrain from using the word CHRISTMAS, in conjunction with the festival of lights.

If CHRIST is the reason for the season, then why not tell it out to all the earth, Christ's name is JESUS. Every Church that has a Carillon should be sounding forth the music that represents the heralding of the advent of our Lord and Savior.

Every News Commentator; Radio, TV, Magazine, and Pulpit should be announcing the message to present and future generations that Deity; the Son of the Supreme Being, was born in Bethlehem of Judea two thousand years ago.

If anyone does not believe or accept the fact that Jesus is the Son of God; that is their privilege and freedom of choice.

I am calling upon all of the faithful and true followers of CHRIST to exercise their GOD given freedom to exalt the historical son of GOD and MAN; during the month of June from the 6th day through the 24th day, in celebration of the Holy and Sanctified advent of OUR LORD.

Anyone who wants to continue to celebrate “Goodwill” and give gifts to one another and let their children revel in fantasies and false expectation, on the 25th day of December may be obliged to so.

However; anyone that persists in calling that type of celebration “Christmas” should only do so by PROVIDING the same (religious) adoration ceremoniously and outwardly expressed; via the displaying and/or reenacting the Nativity, worship which is appropriate; and that any expression contrary, which does not lend itself to the specific recognition of Jesus of Nazareth, born in the Little Town of Bethlehem, shall be rendered or recognized as the expression of “YULETIDE SPIRIT” of kindness and humanitarian fellowship, AND NOT REFERRED TO AS "CHRISTMAS".

Any other form of generic declarations such as; “Happy Holidays”, “Season's Greeting” etc., will be accepted as recognition of the human kindness each person respectfully shares with each other during THE SEASON OF “YULETIDE”.

Doing this will satisfy the (unwritten, unconstitutional) issue of "separation of Church and State".

As the contemporary attitude of mankind is rapidly turning away from the recognition of Christ and God; the “Festival of Lights” is a festive and lovely tradition; and the opening of hearts is commendable. There is no reason to contend any further in regard to the December 25th celebration.

However; if you do not wish to recognize Jesus as Lord, if you prefer to place your adoration in the glorification of inanimate objects and lifeless fantasy it is your God given right to do so.

As Abraham said; to his nephew Lot: “If you choose to go to the right, I will go to the left”.

If you (who are non-Christian) want to celebrate the 25th of December without Christ, then let us (who are Christian) wish you a Happy Holiday, A Joyous Yuletide Season, and we who love the Lord and understand the purpose of His coming into our lives, and into our world, will celebrate a Blessed Holy Day unto ourselves, without the Commercialism and Frivolity.

While by the same token if you do not wish to participate or have our pageantry exhibited publicly, (during the time of your festivities) then do not parade your frivolity, in our presence, and publicly call it by, and in the name of, the one whom we love and serve.

To you who are TRULY CHRISTIAN; if you understand where I am coming from, if you clearly see the direction of this request, then show the world that you really believe in and support what you believe.

If others are willing to fight and sacrifice their lives, for what they believe to be true; let them see that we too are willing to express, to the fullest, the TRUTH that we possess.

Jesus chose only 12 Apostles, and they literally "turned the world upside down" and the reverberation and the effect of their enthusiasm have existed for over two millennium.

I am suggesting to you, that, if only a hand full of devotees participate in this declaration of non-secular celebration, I believe God will be glorified.

Christ is NOT the reason for this (unruly, carnal) season, Commercialism and carnality is. For if Christ was the reason, for the season, then the season would reflect the image of Christ, not exclude or reject the presence and adoration, which the CHRIST of Christmas is due.

I am proposing that; if the Spirit of Christmas does not, or will not emphatically reflect the public, widespread pageantry of the historical and Biblical reality of the Advent of Deity (The Word of GOD made the likeness of humanity) then, everyone that is a partaker of that heritage must ourselves, in deed uphold the tradition; not just at home quietly in seclusion of all else, but everywhere that humanity exists.
