If you don't like having anything to do with Christ in Christmas, then just don't celebrate it! I don't celebrate hannakuh because I'm not Jewish, so you don't have to celebrate CHRISTmas if your not christian. Why can't some people just see that?

Because to celebrate CHRISTmas would mean to look at ones life and see how Christ would change that life. People are scared of change !!!
I think most unbelievers are satisfied with their Godless commercial CHRISTmas anyway. They would rather worship BESTBUY, ZALES, WALMART, and CAPTAIN MORGAN!
I do believe Santa is fine for the kids as long as the children know what the real reason for CHRISTmas is. I have taught mine to know that Santa does what he does because of his love for CHRIST. If you think about that, it isn't a lie at all. I want to do all things to bring Him glory. Just my opinion about St. Nick but the CHRISTmas without Jesus is a sad fact about alot of people.
Merry CHRISTmas
LUKE chapter 2 : 10-14
And the angel said to them, "Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which will come to all the people;
11: for to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
12: And this will be a sign for you: you will find a babe wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger."
13: And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
14: "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom he is pleased!"

I just saw where a Muslim girl wished everyone a Merry Christmas and peace.
Why are you still attacking? Atheists celebrate a day with family, a paid day off and enjoying the season.
Heathens are celebrating for the 12 days and nights from Solstice to New Years.
Pagans are celebrating the Saturnalia, the season and the birth of several savior deities.
It's not just YOUR holiday.
No one is saying take Christ out of Christmas, just to be respectful of other holidays of the season in addition to yours.

Jesus was the 1st born Son of God,master worker, also known as Michael the Archangel, was born in Bethlehem as prophesied, but not on 25 December,which the Catholic Church made a pagan celebration thier own to keep the uneducated masses in thier power for centuries so they could become the richest,and most powerfull religion in the world. Only after his baptism,when he was begotten by the spirit to become a spiritual son of God, did Jehovah(YHWH) announce:(this is my Son" Matt 3:17;John 3:3) Most of the world,which has been misled by Satan think of Jesus as a babe in the manger,but he really is a powerfull King with the voice of an Archangel that will destroy the Angel known as Satan the Devil at Armageddon.

Because Christmas isn't about Yeshua.
It is based on pagan traditions, that the Church twisted around to suit their purposes.
Yeshua wasn't born in december.
And I can tell you that for a fact because the Hebrew calendar is completely different from the Roman version (the version we use today).
Sooooo why celebrate a lie?
And I don't understand how giving gifts to each other celebrates Yeshua'a birth.

Most people I know celebrate a holiday called Secular Gift-Giving day. It kicks ***. It is a holiday that takes place on December 25th and includes trees, santa claus, presents, big family dinners, and candy canes. Basically all the good stuff about Christmas, minus the religious indoctrination, boring church services, and the occasional guilt trip brought to you by Jesus Christ (TM).

You see, long before the (alleged) birth of Jesus, there were festivals occurring on December 25 to celebrate the birth of the sun. The day was filled with the least amount of sunlight, and was thus seen as the sun's beginning. Christian leaders saw the ability to evangelize by allowing potential Christians to keep this popular holiday, and allowed them to do so by infusing a Christian theme into the festival.

Well, I'm pagan and I celebrate the solstice in a Saturnalia/Yule fashion. Since putting up yule trees and giving gifts, and caroling, spending time with family and friends, and feasting is technically a pagan way to celebrate the solstice this time of year - I think I'm allowed to celebrate the birth of the sun as I see fit. You don't OWN our solstice celebration so quit acting like it!
I'm not so petty as to insist you quit putting up your Christmas tree and practicing pagan traditions in conjunction with your celebration of Jesus' birth though. Celebrating the solstice is a HUMAN tradition not belonging to any one group. I think everyone has a right to celebrate it no matter what they choose to label it. Lighten up.

Christmas, whether you choose to beleive it or not is pagan in origin as is easter. Christians have a long history of twisting things to make it fit there beliefs and then giving themselves full credit. I challenge you. Go to your local library and find as many books as you can about christmas, then come back and let all of ua know what you've found out.

The celebration on December 25 was going on long before Christ was around.
Check the "Winter Solstice".

Celebrating Christmas is Devil Worship.
Prove it otherwise from the Holy Scriptures.
You can't it's not a command from Yahweh.
So where does it come from and who do you worship when celebrating this pagan holiday? Satan not Santa.
Satan the devil has place before the world, days that have no scriptural authenticity to replace the days that your Creator commands you to observe.
Your disobedience to Father Yahweh show your allegiance to Lucifer, Satan and all of her demons who rebelled against Yahweh's authority and devised days to steal worship from Yahweh from gullible human beings.
