Why do some Muslim/Atheists / Buddhists / Hindus / Jews / Shintoists celebrate
Christmas?


If Christians are honoring Christ with the celebration of Christmas, why would
non-Christians celebrate it?
What do they call it? Why that day? What customs do they observe? Do they still
exchange gifts, decorate the home, have a holiday greeting, sing holiday songs,
go to Christmas parties, etc.? What customs do they refuse to observe?
Does Christmas have meaning to non-Christians? How does this impact their lives
the rest of the year?
(Come to think of it, these questions could also be asked of many Christians.)




Scholars of Islam, as-salamu `alaykum wa rahmatu Allah.During
the Christmas season, Christians all over the country illuminate
their houses with lights, put up Christmas trees, and exchange
gifts. TV is full of jingle bells and all the stores are decorated for
Christmas. All this is very tempting to small children; children love
putting up lights and decorating for holidays.Some Muslim families
also put up Christmas trees and lights to keep their children happy.
They argue that Christmas is, after all, Prophet Jesus' birthday and
there is no harm in celebrating Christmas as long as children are
happy.When our children started talking a few years back they
started asking why we do not put up lights and trees during
Christmas. I explained to them that we are Muslims and we don’t
celebrate Christmas; we celebrate `Eids. To keep our children
happy and to get them excited about `Eid, we started putting up
lights (green and white) around the house and decorating inside
the house during Ramadan until after `Eidul-Fitr and during
`Eidul-Adha. We exchange gifts with our Muslims friends on both
`Eids. Alhamdulillah, our children now wait for `Eid, not for
Christmas.What is the Islamic position on these issues? Can we
celebrate Christmas? Is it OK to put up lights during Ramadan and
`Eid?

That's a simple sign to know that they are ignorant of the fact that christain religion is the only true religion

TWO

It's a festive season, so if 50% of the world is celebrating it, i see no reason why they will ignore it.

Note: i am not saying if everybody is doing something, that definitely makes it a good thing, or if less people are doing another thing, that make it a bad thing

Why do you celebrate Ileya? Stop being f00lish it's a season of celebration for EVERYBODY.

"Xmas is strictly for PAGANS". Pastor Kumuyi.

Those Non pagans that are celebrating it are ignorants.
