I am sorry but you are misinformed Christmas was not made by God But by Pagans and it was brought into the church after Constantine's day more than years after Jesus died. It is anything but Christian and true Christians should stay far away from it

yes and it became the basis of a holiday that could be celebrated by everyone. Christians celebrate the birth of christ and everyone else celebrates Santa Claus. Both origins are completely different so "santa" christmas is different than "christ" christmas. Very often people forget that they are two different holidays just because they are very similar

Actually, i think you mean Jesus's birth. And Jesus was not actually born on the 25th of december, but is believed to have been born sometime in january, or sometime in spring or summer (From Luke's description of shepherds activities).
The date 25th of december was moved in an attempt to replace the Roman festival of Saturnalia and is the date of the rebirth of Deus Sol Invictus, "Unconquered Sun God", the late Roman state sun god.

Did you know that yahoo provides "check spelling" for your convenience? And if in fact the holiday is due to or was "made by" god birth, then why do you refer to it as "Xmas" rather than christmas?

Yes, I did know. His name was Mithra. (The date for Christmas was stolen from Mithraism.)
