All Christians should have Jesus Christ as the focus of their Christmas Celebrations. It doesn't matter whether or not Jesus was born exactly on 25 Dec. He was born into this world, he has a birthday and Christians celebrate it on 25 Dec; which has been designated Christmas, not Santamas or Orchardroadmas. :)

from what i remembr from the bible..there was no celebrations of birthday indicated besides the 2 immoral kings??where God interfered and bad things happened??as for JC..the only thing he asked his guys to commemorate is the dinner he took with his guys??didnt mention that we should celebrate his birth right??the origin of xmas was with the roman sun god anyway..and the value of JC's life was in his death..not his birth..

As I've pointed out in another of your thread, yes, Jesus asked us to commemorate the last supper but no where does the bible say that the last supper should be the only thing that we should commemorate him by. Jesus did not specifically ask us to celebrate his birth in the bible but he certainly did not forbid it.
Jesus Christ did indeed bring salvation into the world through his death (and resurrection I might add) but before he could do all of that, he was first born into the world and that is what Christians celebrate in Christmas - the coming of the Saviour as foretold by the prophets.
And whether or not other pagan festivals were previously celebrated on the 25 December is irrelevant. Today, nobody as far as I know associate Christmas celebrations or the 25 Dec with the Roman sun god or whatever other pagan deities there are. We remember the birth of our Saviour on this day and it it truly something worth celebrating about.

What happen to the roman sun god? Mentioned 25 Dec to anyone on the street and how many will tell you is about roman sun god?
The value of Jesus's life is His entire life from birth to His death and resurrection.Not just in His death.
And there are other people called, chosen and responded to God's call to make His salvation plan possible for us. Christmas is about Christ and a celebration of His birth that brings us that Good News.
