Question Should non-Christians celebrate Christmas?
Because it is a Cristian holiday where we worship God, so why should non-believers share?

It's kind of expanded I guess. To be honest, even for Christans, christmas is no longer really centered around the birth of Jesus

Exactly.

I'm an atheist and I still celebrate Christmas.

Because Christmas has gone well beyond that and grown into something much bigger. It's a time to be happy, and a great excuse to get pissed. If you are so into the God part of it I'm sure you will see no need for putting up decorations, watching Xmas movies, or giving presents.

Unless of course 'Holidays are coming, always Coca Cola' is mentioned somewhere in Deuteronomy.

It seems Christmas is now about Presents and being greedy little piglets.

Meh, I don't need an imaginary friend in the sky to tell me what seasons I can and can't celebrate. Christmas rocks. End of. If you have a problem with people being happy, well, that's not very Christian.

As non believers we have just as much right to celebrate as Christians because considering we don't believe in it, it has no religious signifigance and thus we can celebrate it if we damn well please, IMO.

It's like when people ask me why I wear a cross if I am not Christian. Not being a Christian, the cross is just a design to me, so I have no problem wearing it.

Even though Jesus did? Even though Jesus was a Jew? Even though Jesus was fulfilling a biblical prophecy, which he said so himself? Even though Jesus constantly quoted the Bible, believed in the Bible, and preached the Bible's message?

Jesus christ, pardon the pun, but I seriously can't believe what I am hearing.
