Non - Christian Mylotters ... Do you celebrate Christmas?

hi sagnik^^;; i'm a Christian, i believe in Christ but my family doesn't celebrate christmas, as we don't believe Christ was born on December 25. however, when i was young i do participate on christmas celebration in school and work. and when my friends were around as my neighbors, i celebrated it together with them and their families but now that they've moved, it'll be just an ordinary day to me. or if someone will invite to their house then i would love to go

I m also a hindu.............. bt i love christmas............ coz its in winter...... and love winter............ also christmas carries a romantic feeling with it................ i feel really fresh on and around christmas days............ i celebrate it by going out to some church............ and then go to some silent peaceful empty place where i can spend a couple of hours alone ............... to enjoy the christmas feeling

well, we are christians so this season is of special meaning to us. but you are right, i guess they celebrate santa then? lol!!!

SImilarly, I am also not a Christian but a Hindu but I was in a a convent school, so in our school time we used to celebrate christmas and since I love this festival and every year I celebrate it with my family. Also, it is a way through which we make our new year's resolutions and celebrate the day!!

I am agnostic, but I do celebrate Christmas. I used to be in a religion where you could not celebrate anything, so after I left I discovered the joys of Christmas. I have a tiny 1 foot tree that I have in my room; I put presents behind it, haha! I also got my first stocking this year, so I have that hanging up too. Other than that I have no decorations. I did attend my family Christmas get-together this year, which I have since I left my mom's religion four years ago. It's always fun, and I enjoy the family and food. I will celebrate Christmas with my brother's family early, and spend Christmas day with my boyfriend. I'm excited!

Same as you. I am also hindu and I love celebrating christmas as much as I like celebrating durga puja! My friends and me go out to have fun and my mother bakes a gigantic cake! We decorate our house with christmas tree.

According to several non christian at my country they are forbide to celebrate or even congaratulate christian at cristmass, their taught is that they will agree with christian faith when they celebrate or congratulate to christian but they allow to attend celebration party excluding rituals.

yes I do. before Christmas, I celebrate Yule, which is the spiritual part of the season for me, and then Christmas is about just everyone being together, lots of sparkly lights and candles, and good food, and just feeling all warm and fuzzy and happy to have each other.

I am a Muslim. We do not celebrate Christmas. And a Muslim is not supposed to practice traditions of other faiths. We Muslims have our own celebrations, there are two celebrations in an year. Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, i.e. Eid of fest/breaking fast and Eid of Sacrifice. Nowadays the commercialization has been increased and many people start forgetting what actually it meant for. Eid Al-Fitr: This is a day of feasting and giving, coming immediately after one month fasting (Ramadan). And it is not allowed to fast on the Eid day. And praise the God always for the blessings and provisions he given, and to wish others to accept the deeds they have done in the month of Ramadan. We may wear new or nice clothes on that day and prepare better food and invite others to home. Also to provide food and provisions to everyone at least for that day. It is advised to distribute certain amount of main food items or equivalent money just before the Eid day for those who are eligible to receive it. To increase the relations between family members, neighbors and friends, Everybody are supposed to renew the relations visit them and wish them. Eid al-Adha: This is the day of Pilgrimage and it is the remembrance of our fore-father Abraham, his family and his sacrifice. Regarding Christmas, I have many Christian friends, Some of them used to invite us to their house for having a lunch or snack, And I used to accept their invitation (Provided the food items are the allowed items) and visit their homes. Like wise Hindus also used to invite us in some of the occasions. Peace.

I am not a religious person. I am a pagan (nature lover) if anything. I have always loved Christmas but the last few years I have been so sick I don't follow through on many of the usual traditions. Used to be we opened a present on Christmas Eve. Then with my grandson we let him open a present every few days becuase he is so hyper, he is out of school, and really needs something to keep him occupied. We used to have a tree and don't anymore. Not because we don't care for one but because they are so expensive. When my grandmother was alive we always had Christmas at her house. There was always snow on the ground and there was a sleigh out in the garage we used. Now days it rarely snows and we don't do much because we don't have the money.

Christmas isn't just a religious holiday. It's also a holiday of love, friends and family. We could all use more days celebrating those things, right? I have many friends who are not Christian who also celebrate the spirit of the day...so enjoy! We usually get together with friends and family, have a big dinner and LOTS of goodies. I bake for a week getting ready for the day.

Wow, lots of Pagan-types weighing in on this discussion. I'm sort of a non-practicing Pagan (I believe in the pantheon, celebrate and love the Earth, I just don't have any rituals....) but I celebrate Christmas. For me, it's not so much about the Christian connotations because as far as the age of the Earth is concerned, Christianity is a fairly young religion and their Christmas was built around Winter Solstice festivals they encountered while trying to take over the world - Saturnalia and Yule, to name a few, but others as well (as were Halloween and Easter, among others). For me, Christmas is about being with people you care about, whether they be family or friends, or family and friends... and sharing your lives. Gift giving is (should be) as important for the giver as it is for the receiver... giving someone you love a gift they will love should make you feel all warm and cozy inside And I, honestly, know no better way to enjoy time with people you love and who love you than with good food and drinks.

I'm a Wicca and I live in a mixed relgion home, half of us are Wiccan the other half Christian, so we celebrate both Yule and Christmas. On Yule which is the 21st of December we stay up all night and greet the sun. It can be very tiring LOL On Christams we get up early make schones and drink egg nog and unwrap Christmas presents we have gotten for each other.

No I worship the devil. Yes obviously I still celebrate Christmas, just because I don't believe in god doesn't mean I can't take part in a holiday. Besides Christmas has become more about other things then religion. It has become about materialism unfortunately but I would rather it be that then all about a religion that doesn't even really make sense.

I am a Christian and I love Christmas. I guess everybody becomes Christians on Christmas Time. :) I know a lot of Japanese, Korean non-Christians who celebrates Christmas.

as chinese,christmas is not important festivel as for us.so we could not pay attention to this festivel,but it close nearly with new year,so i buy many decration to adorn my room,at the same time i would invite my friends to my house to barbecue and dinner,my friends would expect be together to celebrate christmas .

I am Muslim and I do not celebrate christmas. My faith forbids us to celebrate religious days of other religions. I still love the holidays though, at least they give me to rest and relax :)

Hi sagnik,I am an hindu but our family members celebrate every christmas happily coz My dads birthday is on that day and it makes it more special and enjoyable for all of us and we have a great time celebrating his birthday with a small party in the evening.So christmas has been special for me in that way and it remains one of my favourite day of the year too.good day.

hi there I am not really that religious to be honest and I celebrate xmas its the best time of the year. Not for any religious reasons but more for the goodwill shown to our fellow human beings, and also I look at it more as a time for the kids and families to spend at least one day as a proper family unit which doesnt seem to happen in the fast paced 21st century.

nothing. but the usual work. it's insane but true. catholics tend to have a lot of breaks that makes them even more lazy in the holidays, don't you agree. why would you love christmas if you're nothing of a christian? jsut asking.
