lb centuar, her name is Kristin Chenoweth, not Christian Chenoweth. Unless you're referring to someone else? You are talking about the woman who played Glinda in the musical Wicked, right?

Mr. Fancy Pants, Jesus was Jewish, not Arab.

Not really, just family togetherness and gift exchange. So Secular Christmas, yes. Religious Christmas, no.

Just because Christmas and Christ share the same five letters does not mean they are related. That's like claiming that the singer Christian Chenoweth is part of Christmas.
Christmas is a pagan holiday celebrating the winter solstice. It was abducted by Christians to recruit nonbelievers.

I'm an atheist, but I have also inherited the cultural traditions of my country (Catalonia), which include the ones related to Christmas (Nadal, in Catalan language): fairs, songs, dances, theatre performances, 'pessebres' (cribs) and so many many more... So, I don't see any contradiction in celebrating Nadal or Christmas without any religious connotation.
Bon Nadal!

I celebrate family on December 25th.
I don't however make it a substituted birthday celebration for Jesus.
I put up a pine tree, and decorate it, even though I don't believe that mother nature is going to bless me for putting offerings under a tree.
I even sing Christmas carols with my religious parents and sisters, but don't expect that my adherence to tradition is going to effect my life in any tangible way.

Atheists would be hypocritical to celebrate the birth of Christ.
But I'm sure they celebrate the Winter Solstice and Santa Claus and the spirit of giving. The tree and decorations are pagan in origin anyway.

I celebrate time with my loved ones during this winter break, but the word Christmas never comes up.

wow I am so happy to see all of you guys letting the world know that Christmas is not about the SON but is is about the SUN. this is indeed the day for the DEMONS a day that makes SATAN rejoice. a DAY OF GREED AND DRUNKENNESS, SELFISHNESS, DRUGS AND PARTIES. IF THIS WAS THE BIRTH DATE OF JESUS WOULD HE APPROVE OF THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR?
IT AMAZE ME HOW PEOPLE CELEBRATE A DAY THEY CAN NOT AFFORD.
HOW THEY CELEBRATE A DAY THAT BELONG TO THE PAGANS BUT TRY TO MAKE IT A CHRISTIANS DAY.
GOOD AND EVIL DO NOT MIX.
HOW DISGUSTING! TO DO SUCH A THING IN THE NAME OF GOD

Why should they since they don't believe in anything. Everything is a fairytale may Christmas is too.
