According to the Bible, we're not supposed to be celebrating Christmas.

Jeremiah 10: 2-5 states:
"Thus says the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not; they must needs be borne, because thy cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither is it in them to do good."
So it appears that God is definitely against Christmas.

Christmas is the holiday we celebrate to represent the day of Jesus' birth. It's up to you whether you want to celebrate it or not.

I read the bible but I don't use it to rule my life. So, I wouldn't know about what should and should not be celebrated. Cheers and Merry Christmas!!

I'm pretty sure you are correct at that. It seems like we "worship" a tree decorated with lights and ornaments. But, I celebrate Christmas as a tradition with my family. Not necessarily what it's supposed to be. I'm an atheist basically so it does not bother me that we are not supposed to celebrate Christmas. I just like getting together with family and distant relatives that I have not seen in quite awhile. =]
