the 25th of December is NOT a Christian Holy day.
Hi subbie, I object to calling it a christian holiday.
​
I celebrate Christmas and I'm not a Christian.
​
Likely what you celebrate is yuletide, with the trees decorated, the family and feasts, and the sharing of gifts.
​
These celebrations have nothing intrinsic to do with christianity, and christianity has nothing to do with the 25th of December to mark it out as a special date to that faith in any way.
​
It's an ancient festival to celebrate the winter solstice.
​
Enjoy.
