There is not one person who has a scintilla of knowledge about Christmas who would say it's not Christian, or at a minimum, of Christian origin. And no matter what else it is, IT'S NOT JEWISH, or Muslim or Hindi, or a part of ANY OTHER RELIGION!

There are no other posters names on my quote, just yours.

Your argument is similar to that of some Christian congregations that don't celebrate Christmas at all! In addition, some say that about crosses/crucifixes, e.g. the LDS (Mormon) religion. http://jesus.christ.org/questions-an...s-wear-crosses

I had to go back and fix the quote so it showed up correctly.
