i will give you a hint..... HAPPY BDAY JESUS! xmas is when jesus was born. the story goes like this: an angle came to mary and said she was going to mary a man named josaph (i know i did not spell it right). then the angel said she would have a baby named jesus. and he would be a king. the angel later came to josaph and told him the same thing. later, they got married. it was a rough night when they were on their way to an inn, because mary was pregnent with jesus. the innkeeper had no rooms avalible so he said that they could stay in their manger. all of the sheeps and donkeys and other farm animals were still there, but they did not mind. when jesus was born, they put him on a stack of hay. called a manger. then, the king heard another king was born. he went ballistic. he told his 3 wisemen to go and kill him. so the wisemen go out and fallow the star of bethlehem. they bring him tidings of gifts like murph, gold, ext... the 2 songs "star of wonder" and "we three kings" come from this part of the story. when the kings got there, the manger was magical. the wismen never came back to the king. they knew that if they went back without killing jesus, they would be killed themselves. there you have it! the true meaning of xmas! happy holidays!!!!

You mean the title or the date? December 25th was celebrated as Yule, winter solistice and many other holidays long before Jesus was around. All the fun things about the holiday are pagan.

The birth of Jesus. He is our Lord and Savior and died on the cross for our sins. That is why we celebrate Christmas. Merry Christmas.

It is to celebrate the birth of Jesus, but sadly nowadays it is used as an excuse to drink, eat and spend money you can't afford on presents, just so you look good! Bring back the days when EVERYBODY went to Church to give thanks.

check it out and decide....
Seriously, the birth of Jesus...and Santa embodies the spirit of giving...not necessarily presents that put us in debt but giving of ourselves...time, thought and consideration to those close to us.

It is the birthday of our Lord, Jesus Christ. We thank God for him because if he never existed, none of us would be here. God sacraficed his son for us.
