re celebrating xmas

*there is one question which has bothered me for months and months and i just haven’t had it clarified so now i’ll try. the way i c things it is that xmas is for roman catholics or christians in general who believe in prophet esa :razi: aka jesus & that they celebrate the birth of christ on 25 dec etc cetera, but cometh 25 dec i c all the goorai celebrating xmas day when not all r catholics or have any belief in religion @ all , who don’t go to church or who r atheists etc… so isn’t xmas ritefully just for the catholics or christians in whole to celebrate and not every tom, dick and harry.

:flower1: peace :flower1: *

pretty much all christians celebrate christmas in one way or another.

many people who are atheist but have christian families will celebrate it as a cultural (but not religious) holiday to honor the traditions of their families.

many people also celebrate the sentiments that are emphasized at the time (generosity, family-closeness, general good will toward all).
