Christmas has gone beyond a christian holiday (wasn't it the pagans who invented the christmas tree?). i don't celebrate the birth of christ, because i don't believe he ever existed. i celebrate a time of year where it's customary to be kind to your fellow man, spend time with family and exchange gifts with your loved ones. religion doesn't factor into my view of christmas one bit
