why is christmas celebrated?

my friend, christmas day have mean alot things not only about santa, vhristmas is about TRUE LOVE from GOD he comes to this earth, die for all people, goes to heaven etc. so we celebrate for that.pray and go to church the best celebrate.

I hope I can do this justice althought Christmas has been added to with the Santa and presents thing the main reason for Christmas celebration is to celebrate the birth of the Christ Child. This birth was fore told 700 years before the birth of Jesus in the book of Isaiah chap 7 "Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin will concieve and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel" Immanuel is translated "God With Us" This belief that God took on human form in the Person of Jesus in order to be the ultimate sacrafice for the sins of man. This is the deep meaning of Christmas to those of the Christian faith. I hope gives more of the answer you were seeking.

yes.my nephews being wild about christmas too.they said they don't had presents in Ramadhan..
