Let it go, and have a wonderful CHristmas with your loved ones and family.
Like do you know the real meaning of Diwali? or Wesak Day? or the Mooncake Festival etc etc etc
There are many things we don't know... just know what you know and share whenever you are asked to share... Respect when you are not. For the real essence of Love is Respect... if there is no respect true hearted love is not present....
Christ was ALL about Love.

I suspect that the majority of Christians know their meaning for the day. Most of the world is not Christian and does not celebrate Christmas so I doubt they really care much about it.

Well, only a 1/3rd of the world is Christian for starters.
The rest of us don't really care about Christmas anymore than you care about Chinese New Year or Purim.
But - Happy Holidays to you.

Quite a few recognize that Christmas is a holiday celebrating the birth of Christ (who is unarguably the most influential person ever). Even those who are not Christians

christmas is a rebranding of a preexisting roman holiday, saturnalia, when christianity took over the roman empire. christ actually wasn't born around this time. it has more to do with the winter solstice. that's the real meaning of christmas, if you want to talk historical accuracy

the real meaning?
you mean as in the birthday of the child-god Mithras, son of the unconquerable sun-god Sol Invictus?

Which real meaning? Like One-True Gods, there are so many of them.

worse yet, the ones who know it is a purely heathen day, seem to think that it is fine with the Savior YAHOSHUA if they celebrate it!
