You can turn on any news channel, and there are views on Christmas or X-mas or just saying happy holidays. Here are my personal views on the subject.

I don't think this post belongs in spirituality or political, it really doesnt belong in either I think, it is more of just a share of opinions.


This is a christian celebration. I don't see anyone adopting a version of hannukah and altering it's name. If you follow their religion, you celebrate it, if you don't, then you most likely don't celebrate hannukah.

If you are going to celebrate a holiday created by a religion, and you are not a part of that religion, I believe that you have NO right to say something you don't like about it.

Christmas, it has the name of christ in it, to show it is a day about him. The act of giving is because of the three wisemen giving baby jesus gifts.

If you are not christian, but celebrate the holiday, and give gifts, then you are following a CHRISTIAN tradition, that is brought forth from the CHRISTIAN bible. Meaning any way you look at it, if you celebrate this holiday, then you are celebrating christian ideals.


I am agnostic, I was a Christian before I realized that I could not hold faith in God, because there was no proof of his or her existance, nor would there ever be short of him showing him or herself. Even then it could be wrote off as a series of coincidences.

I am going from I guess would seem a partially, if not fully, biased view of the holiday.

If I started fasting during Ramadan I would call it Ramadan then I would call it Ramadan.

Why would I do this? Because it is a Muslim holiday, and it would be disrespectful of their traditions and customs to do otherwise.

No one would suggest someone changing the name of Ramadan, no one would suggest changing the name of Hannukah, why? it is because none of these have the name of their god in them?

If you celebrate the holiday of Christmas, respect their religion as people respect your own. Noone makes fun or changes the name of other religions holidays, it is pointless and childish. And it would be called such.

And remember what holiday means, HOLY DAY. If you are agnostic or athiest and celebrate this holiday, then respect it. You hold true to your ideals, but at the same time, so do they. They have views of their religion as you have views of yours. We could all be wrong, they could be right, we could be right. The thing of it is, we will never know. This holiday was created by christians, and we should respect their birthright of it's name.
