    Christmas is all about the birth of Jesus Christ. So if you don't believe in Jesus Christ why would you celebrate it? Because of the gifts and eats?

    Right on and because most everyone I know celebrates it. Hi Legolas, how's it going?

    I am still don't know if I believe in Jesus or not. However, we celebrate christmas because I feel it is a traditional thing to do. It is fun and something to look forward to. It is a known fact Jesus wasn't born on December 25th -- so IMHO its not really about Jesus. To me, it is about family togetherness and a time to be joyful. That's all.

    I love it...

    A "christian" all bent over the fact that secular society is "blaspheming" a recently borrowed and raped pagan holiday by using an "X" instead of "Christ"....ROFLMAO!

    It's the ultimate turnabout...

    "christians" - 1 vs. Pagans - 1

    Now for a tie breaker....!

    legolas: It was all Santa,love ,family, just the whole spirit of it all.

    Christmas is not about Santa Claus...no no no. I'm sorry but that is just wrong.

    This is a sensitive issue. The interjection of "Santa" into our Christmas gatherings...... Satan has infiltrated and defiled our Christian celebration of Christmas by adding the dimension of emphasizing Santa Claus at the celebration of the Savior's birth.

    Satan perverts that date because he hates to see people worshipping the Lord. Instead he diverts adults and children alike to revolve their attention around what Santa will bring that day instead of what the real meaning of the day really is.

    thank God for Jesus then!!!

    Can't I thank them both for themselves...and don't leave out Mr. Holy Ghost.

    Or should I thank Jesus for "God"...

    I'm confused...

    Well if you didn't know where it came from why did you use it....because everyone was. Monkey see monkey do (no offence).

    That X was to misguide people into taking off Christ from Christmas.

    As far as the remembering of Jesus' birthday, many do not do that. SO why not use xmas instead of Christmas? Also, I do it because it easier to type that. No disrespect is intended to Christ. And I fail to see how xmas is adding to the commercial side of the holiday? There are plenty of religious images used in the commercialization of it too - everyone seems to have something to sell.

    I write etc instead of et cetera. I write prob instead of probably. I write JC instead of Judicial Committee. H2O for water.

    I just don't see the objection.
