It's so hypocritical, for people to say they don't believe in Christianity, Christmas, and Jesus, yet they celebrate the holiday, take the time off from work, put up a tree, give and receive gifts, all in Christ's name. At the same time complain about somebody saying Merry Christmas, and the commercialization of the holiday.
If you didn't lie to yourselves and your children, telling them all the stories about Christmas, just admit I'm celebrating Christ's birthday because everybody else does, even though I don't believe in Christ or God.
If non-believers didn't celebrate and you left it a Christian Holiday, then most of the stuff you hate about it would calm down some. But you don't want to be the parent or person that says, kids you don't get gifts for Christmas, tell others I don't give or take gifts for Christmas, I don't take time off or celebrate Christmas so I'll stay and work and I don't want holiday pay.
Thinking about it, the same would apply to any holiday. If you don't like it, or like what it celebrates, then don't celebrate it! Don't take the time off, extra pay, or give into all the hoopla that goes with it.
It really just shows you as a hypocrite or that you're just a fake and afraid to stand up for your own beliefs because of what people will think.
Christmas is a government recognized holiday. In most cases everything is closed if one likes it or not. This includes private employees. So you again are proving to be a retard becuase you clearly never had a job.
Actually a lot of countrys celebrate Christmas and Halloween specifically. Though you could say there's several versions of Halloween as the main theme is honoring the dead and dressing in costumes. While Christmas is more or less the same holiday but adopted by more than one place. Japan of all places has a Xmas. Which seems odd because knowing Japan Christmas doesn't seem to have anything to do with them. It's very easy to point out how stupid you are when you complain about things you know nothing about. Also you stated anyone who misses work because of a holiday is stupid if they do not like or agree with that holiday. Which if the government recognizes the holiday the likely hood of you getting it off is high. Which regardless of country is valid.
Not sure what "Xmas" is I don't recognize this as a proper way of saying Christmas. Of course it is a good way of saying what non-Christians are celebrating, a holiday with Christ removed.
Are you saying there are no Christians in Japan? There are only a few like 1 or 2 percent. However that has little to do with their Christmas celebration.
Japan does celebrate Christmas, though it is not an official Japanese holiday.
Christmas has only been widely celebrated in Japan for the last few decades. It's still not seen as a religious holiday or celebration. several customs came to Japan from the USA and are popular.
In Japan, Christmas in known as more of a time to spread happiness rather than a religious celebration. Christmas Eve is often celebrated more than Christmas Day. Christmas Eve is thought of as a romantic day. In many ways it resembles Valentine's Day celebrations in the UK and the USA.
You are actually helping me prove my point. It's either that or you can't read. I said earlier that there are many many celebrations around the world at the same time of year. There are many countries that don't recognize "Christmas" but still have a celebration, helping with your point about the pagen celebration.
Maybe my question was just worded poorly. I could care less if everybody in the world celebrated around the same time I just don't understand why they wish to call themselves celebrating "Christmas". Call it what it is; a solstice, a renewed life, a butchering of the herd, a get nude and party day, or as you put it Xmas celebration. It's just not a Christmas celebration if you're not celebrating Christ.
BTW, I normally try not to resort to name calling or taking personal shots at people because it normally gives the opposite impression. You're entitled to your opinion and I'm entitled to mine. You seem to be a good example of today's world problem; "if you don't believe as I do, you are wrong, raciest, ignorant or stupid."
So you have proven you do not know what Christmas, Christianity, or any sort of abbreviations used with these common words. Yet you believe you have a reason to be condescension to others. Xmas is an abbreviation for Christmas. Since x is like a cross. Do you get it idiot?
Why do you celebrate Christmas, if you're not a Christian
