Well, grand, apparently from the answers, not EVERYONE associated Christmas with Jesus.
And no. Giving presents isn't evil. But substituting consumerism for actual generosity and goodwill...
IS. Spend a little less on yourself and your friends and family. Take the saved money and HELP your fellow man, instead of just.....giving them something actually meaningless. Give -help-, or even -hope-. Much better presents.

@grandtheftautomadnlu lol @ raging about Christian's while using their lord's name in vain... and yeah... CHRISTmas

According to some researchers, Jesus was born on September 11. I guess Santa's gonna hafta fly into skyscrapers from now on. ^_^

Don't give things to people! It's evil!

Amen to that. But it is the date that we remember Jesus' birth. The winters in Bethlehem are known to reach very cold temperatures and it was unlikely that shepherds would watch their flocks by night during the winter. If you know the story of Jesus it says that an angel appeared to shepherds. Winter in the middle east occurs in December, so Jesus would probably have been born in the summer which is 1/2 way through the year.

We know that, I think it does not matter the date correctly, we must celebrate everyday that God is with us, Emmanuel.

But yes, the gospel portrays the birth of Jesus possibly in the middle of the year. I don't really know, but I can assume that shepherds in these parts 2000 years ago wouldn't want to stay out in the cold at night. Summer in the northern hemisphere is in the middle of the year, therefore in my opinion it was during the middle of the year that Christ was born, as shepherds came and visited him.
