I feel sure that is Jesus were to walk the earth again, he would react to Christmas like he did to the money changers fleecing people in the temple. Businesses make a killing and thousands of millions of muppets line their pockets year after year. Calling the festival of the pagan celebration of the rebirth of the sun (Saturnalia) Christmas, was a stroke of genius. It was how Constantine the great got the Pagans and the Christians having a time of excess and celebration on the same day! But if you take a jar of strawberry jam and put on a label saying marmalade, it doesn't change what it is. People have fallen for the hoax of Christmas since it was invented 1700 years ago. Oh and yes, Christmas music sucks I agree!

Fun fact, the whole pagan festival thing was created by the Romans to suppress the celebration of Christmas. The celebration of the nativity occurred prior to the invention of the sun celebration. Here's a great article that talks about it: http://taylormarshall.com/2012/12/yes-christ-was-really-born-on-december.html

X is from the Greek letter Chi which is the first letter in Christ. Mas = Mass meaning a sacrifice of which is meant the sacrifice which occurs in the Catholic/Orthodox Mass.

Oh and by the way, Holiday is derived from Holy Day. So even when you say Happy Holidays, you're saying Happy Holy Days. Oops.

I don't care about any of this. Only reason why I care about Xmas is discounts, gifts and free days off from school/work. If there would not be any of this I would ignore it, just as I ignore Eid Al-Fitr, Maha Shivaratri, etc. And I am sure majority of people would ignore it. Maybe not even all Christians would go to church. Because these days it's not about Jesus anymore and it's only getting less about Jesus every year. It just happens that Christians happen to celebrate their thing on our national shopping day, that's all. I could celebrate my birthday at Easter, would not make Easter all bout my birthday, it's still just about eggs. Just as Xmas is just about stuff now. Like it or not, things change.
