Christmas a holiday for centuries celebrated as the birth of Christ - now the celebration is only about gifts, food, Santa, reindeer, snowman, elves and such. Much of society has forgotten, some of society probably don't know why Christmas was initially celebrated. A few decades ago the unbelievers and those that believed in other deities fought against the recognition of Christ and won. The words now are Happy Holidays. Very few say Merry Christmas in public places. The first five letters of the word Christmas tells us it is about Christ. Scripture tells us there will come a falling away we are witnessing the beginning.

So then all does not happen according to gods plan?

All I know about the history of Christmas is
that it existed before Christianity, but under
a different name(s).
Festivus is replacing it because people hate
buying gifts that'll get returned or re-gifted
by familial ingrates anyway.
And aluminum poles are easier to decorate
than trees.

"Christ" has six letters

The 1st 4 5 say it's about a guy named "Chris".
Or possibly @ChristineM.

The words now are Happy Holidays. Very few say Merry Christmas in public places.

Could this be because people don't wear badges expressing what religion the belong to or if they belong to a religion at all?

Could it be that people do not want to offend others who walk a different path than Christianity?

Mad props for picking that out. I missed that.

So clearly, Christmas is about Chris.

Nope. That would be about Chri.

I would say that Christians have dropped the ball.
I mean, if even the Christians probably don't know why Christmas was initially celebrated....

Chris, the central figure of Chrisianity

 

[Revoltingest]

Nope. That would be about Chri.

The 1st 3 could be about Chrysler.

The 1st 3 could be about Chrysler.

Or Toyota's subcompact SUV.

December 25 is a pagan holiday that Christians abducted and used for their own aims. Jesus isn't thought to have been born on this date, assuming he existed.

And Christmas is considered a broad holiday that is crucial to our economy. What do you think should be the ideal in a diverse nation?

Sure, there are cultural aspects and folk traditions of the winter celebration that pre-date Christianity, and have existed alongside Christianity, but that doesn't mean that Christians can't celebrate the holiday in a manner that they think is appropriate. They just shouldn't be able to force others to do the same.

"Happy Holidays" exists because several religious traditions have celebrations during the season; it's a bit bigoted to expect that all greetings exclude those and cater to your specific religion.

 

[Saint Frankenstein]

Just say Merry Christmas if you're so moved. If someone is offended by that, they can get a life.

See the edited post.
I never counted the letters.
I foolishly presumed to just subtract 1 from the other poster's number (5).

Christmas a holiday for centuries celebrated as the birth of Christ

Actually the celebration of Christmas is a later development. Early Christians didn't celebrate it, indeed they ridiculed those that did. Throughout most of Christian history Christmas was a minor holiday if celebrated at all. Even as late as the time of the Puritans there was active opposition to celebrating Christmas.

Celebrate as your own heart and conscience determine and reciprocate by not judging them. Don't let the negativity of others get to you. Remember what it says in your Christian New Testament, "Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ." Colossians 2:16
