It doesn't make any difference to me whether it's Jesus birthday or not. I like the family gathering and celebration. It's fun especially if you have young ones!

Christmas is or should be about celebrating our Lord Jesus. One way we can honor Him is to spread around what He so overwhelmingly gives us every day: LOVE.
Love to others, love to our family, love to our coworkers, etc. How? By giving a nice card, a present, a wonderful meal, a plate of cookies and a glass of milk, whatever. By getting together. By spending the day together. By sharing our precious time with others. By creating new memories for our children. By taking that time of year to reflect on all our blessings and taking the time to appreciate and enjoy them. And by not getting on each others case about celebrating or not celebrating Christmas!
The date might not be right, the tree might be pagan (what was the meaning supposed to be, any way?) but are God / Jehovah / Jesus displeased by us celebrating Christmas by sharing love with others and having joy in our heart? I think not :-) So....
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!
