Christ's Birthday?

No I don't think so, but on the other hand, I don't think it's right for Christians to celebrate a pagan holiday either. So I think if you're not going to celebrate Christ's birth you really shouldn't celebrate anything at all.

Yes it is. Even though we figure that because no Shepherds would be out just before the middle of Winter watching their sheep by night, does not mean we should not honor the reason that Christ came to earth. The date may have been set by the Church to win the souls of the Romans away from Saturnalia, but there was probably another pagan celebration on the real date of Christ's birth maybe a more appealing one.

Although I see Christmas as only the winter solstice with now a "christian" name, I still see no reason why someone can not celebrate it if they want to. If others can celebrate and make them closer to Christ, then i say go for it. I celebrate his birth everyday.

Personally, I believe any true Christian who claims Jesus is the reason for the season is a brain washed blind sheep being led to slaughter by a wolf in sheep's clothing. We should live our lives every day to honor our Lord. And we should not worship money the way he warned us not to. This is a fairly new revelation to me so I haven't had much experience wording my thoughts. But Jesus doesn't want us to live our lives in gluteny and that is the true meaning of today's christams celebrations. I think he is appalled at the way we have taken his teachings and turned them against him.

Yes. It would be perfectly acceptable for a Christian to celebrate Hanukkah. Celebrating the feasts and holidays of God's chosen people is a very Christian thing to do. If, however, a Christian is celebrating Christmas at that time of year they should accept that Christ is the reason for the season. It's true that the birth of Christ did not occur in winter. Simple logical extrapolation shows that shepherds aren't in the field at that time of year. Added to the rest of the story and he was probably born in the spring. The Christ Mass which originated our Christmas celebration was a celebration of His birth and all that goes with that event. To celebrate Christmas without acknowledging Christ as the reason is equivalent to celebrating the pagan holidays from which many traditions were taken. The Yuletide with it's evergreens and yule logs, Feast of Saturn harvest festival which was used by the Catholic church to time the Christ mass which happens exactly in the middle of the old Roman holiday. Any number of other pagan harvest festivals that occur around the same time, as the harvest season ends and people settle in for the long winter.

As a Christian, whether it is December 25th, July 3rd or September 27th, everyday Christ is the reason for the season.

No. Jesus wasn't born December 25, he would have been born probably around July. They chose December to coincide with other celebrations including Winter Solstice. I think your opinions on Christmas are yours and personal. This does not make you any less of a Christian. I believe the celebration is symbolic.
