Do you believe in Christmas?

Just a question... I don't believe in it and I don't celebrate it. Wanting to find out who's Jewish and who's Christian.

There's nothing wrong with celebrating Christmas. Our traditions make us who we are. We shouldn't get rid of traditions simply because a few people are offended by them.

However, getting carried away with materialism at Christmas is wrong. Parents who spend in excess of a thousand dollars on their kids' Christmas presents are crazy. Moderation is the key.

How anyone can't believe in Christmas is beyond me - it is a happy family holiday where people celebrate their unity as a family.

I don't believe i Jesus but i still celebrate it. Lots of ppeople with no religion celebrate it.

You don't have to go to a christian church to celebrate christmas - just enjoy the occasion of everyone being happy.

?some?wanna?know? has a spectacular aura about
I don't celebrate Christmas, nor do I believe in the celebration of it. I am a follower of Jesus Christ. He never told his followers to celebrate it, only to memorialize his DEATH, not his birth.
I am a Jehovah's Witness.
"Christmas and Easter: Jesus was not born on December 25. He was born about October 1, a time of year when shepherds kept their flocks out-of-doors at night. (Luke 2:8-12) Jesus never commanded Christians to celebrate his birth. Rather, he told his disciples to memorialize, or remember, his death. (Luke 22:19, 20) Christmas and its customs come from ancient false religions. The same is true of Easter customs, such as the use of eggs and rabbits. The early Christians did not celebrate Christmas or Easter, nor do true Christians today. "

You don't have to be Jewish to not celebrate Christmass. I don't celebrate christmas because it is not even when Jesus was born. It is the birthday of the sun god and that one guy who is so important because he allowed christians to worship like a thousand years ago was pagan and just made that Christ's birthday so that pagan people would not feel bad about giving up their celebrations. Do some research, almost everything major about christmas is pagan. I am a Jehovah's Witness
