I want to wish all of those of all religions and origin a Merry Christmas. I am a Muslim, but here in the US the celebration of it is more a tradition than anything to do with religion. So, I am exchanging gifts with my Christian family and I am going to spend the day with them. This time of year for very few is really about worship. At least in my city, anyway.
And another question: How will you be spending this day off of work for those of you who do work?

It is very OKay to wish anyone a Merry Christmas as this is the time of year Christians celebrate the birth of Christ, God's only Son.
Merry Christmas to you and everyone!
I will spend my days off work in peace, with family and friends. Enjoying a nap or two . . . reflecting on how wonderful this year has been!
Happy New Year!

You are correct. The true meaning of Christmas is completely lost during this time of year. It is really quite sad, however no one is perfect. I have several friends who resent Jesus Christ, however they celebrate Christmas, so I think it is perfectly okay for someone of a different religion to celebrate Christmas, too. Some think of it as a way to give gifts to others to thank them for the past year. You should try going to a church's Christmas service, maybe that will help you see Christians celebrating Christmas for it's true meaning, if you want to experience that.

And extra Merry Christmas to you mate. From the majority of Australians who have half a brain.
Christmas is a custom sure, but it is about all people and respect for all. Everyone has the ability to care for their fellow earth dwellers, deep inside many have forgotten. However together we can make all things good for all.
My Christmas is almost over now but my respect for my fellow men and ladies will always be there. It only takes one person with a true heart to unite all.Give it a go.....Merry Christmas .... Christmas is all of us and especially all of you.

The US has many Christians who consider
Christmas a religious day. Many others
consider Christmas as a secular holiday but
with a spirit of giving and goodwill. We also
have many people of faiths other than Christianity.
We have many agnostics and atheists.
I think you are safe to wish people merry
Christmas or happy holiday, either way you want.
And, by the way, merry Christmas to you.

Jesus has nothing to do with pagan Christmas.
You as a Muslim should certainly not be celebrating this heinous holiday.
You don't believe that Jesus is the Messiah anyway, and although they do recognize Jesus as the Messiah, the pagan Roman Catholics have turned Christ's beautiful message into a pagan mess.
Please don't follow along with them in their pagan ritual of the pagan Winter Solstice.
I do not believe that Islam is correct either, because they don't believe that Jesus is the Messiah.
The Roman Catholics teach Jesus as the Messiah, but they are so pagan in nature that they too are incorrect in their teachings . . . actually they are just false and full of lies - just like their father Satan.
God Bless You

I hope you had a wonderful day yesterday.
How did I spend yesterday? With a bunch of empty shallow materialistic so-called "family" in the morning and in the evening supper with racists!
