Should a Christian Celebrate Christmas?
http://www.rapidnet.com/~jbeard/bdm/Psychology/xmas/celeb.htm

From the page: "2. Nativity Scenes (tainted with paganism) -- Nearly every form of pagan worship descended from the Babylonian mysteries, which focus attention on the "mother-goddess" and the birth of her child. This was adapted to "Mary-Jesus" worship, which then easily accommodated the multitude of pagans "converted" to Christianity inside Constantine's Roman Catholic Church. If anyone were to erect statues (i.e., images) of Mary and Joseph by themselves, many within Protestant circles would cry "Idolatry!" But at Xmas time, an image of a little baby is placed with the images of Mary and Joseph, and it's called a "nativity scene." Somehow, the baby-idol "sanctifies" the scene, and it is no longer considered idolatry!"

Should a Christian celebrate Christmas? Why on December 25th?

(please note that the site content is not entirely recommended. As with most sites, it must be read through with care. I note that these otherwise good folks claim water baptism as a requirement for Salvation. You must note that.)

But we know that Chanukah is not the Jewish Christmas! No, we must
reclaim Chanukah for what it is: a celebration of freedom, faith and
miracles from G-d. And to do that, we create a new holiday, the
Jewish Christmas. From this time forward, each year on the first
Saturday after Christmas, Jews and Christians shall gather together and
celebrate Jewsmas.

On Jewsmas, we decorate a house plant with colored lights, we eat
fondue, and we play dreidel drinking games. On Jewsmas, we take
gifts from beneath the decorated plant and give them to our Jewish and
Christian friends alike. On Jewsmas, we drink Manischevitz wine with
soda water. On Jewsmas, we celebrate the knowledge that
Chanukah is not the goddamn Jewish Christmas, so leave it the hell
alone!
