Is it for religious reasons? For me, we celebrate Jesus's birth (even though it is noted that it is not His birthday) for others, it is a time for families (which we do as well) for others, it an excuse to party. Others still, choose not to celebrate. China does not celebrate any sort of 'christian festivities'. For some, Christmas brings back bad memories of a loved one who has passed on... Why do you celebrate or why do you choose not to?

I have always celebrated Jesus Birthday , but then it was all about the kids , now I don`t really celebrate it not cause I don`t want to but cause the kids are grown and on their own ,... I do think of loved ones and family just don`t have the money for it and family are so far away ...

As a Bahai I honor Jesus ...I would have to be a good true christain to be able to be a Bahai.. I don't celebrate Christmas as the birth of Christ but as a day to get together and be thankful for the ones I love.. I'm sure this is confusing! xoxoxoxoxo
