Christmas means celebration of our lord Jesus Christ who came into this world to die for the sins of the whole world and he resurrected after three days.

It is only those that are blind that will keep arguing on why Christians should not celebrate it. The popular story they will tell you is that Christmas came from pagan.
This is Christmas and not paganmas, I wonder how long it will take before it sinks to their brain.
For example a christian missionary enters into a village where all of them are pagans and he preached the gospel of Jesus and almost the entire village converted to Christianity even the high priest of the shrine in the village is among the converts.They have a meeting on where to build a church in the village and the former high priest who is now a christian decides together with others to use the land where the pagan shrine is located for a church building. The church is built and they start worshiping God there. The earth is the lords and his fullness thereof, therefore any land can be used for a church building and any day can be used to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.
The three wise men came to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ as they brought gifts too.

If you choose not to celebrate that's your personal choice but let those who choose to celebrate God who came in human form to be offered as a sacrifice for the whole mankind keep on celebrating be it January,May,August.etc

I also want to talk about Xmas! It may appear that Christ is being taken out of Christmas, but is this what is really going on?

First of all, you have to understand that it is not the letter X that is put into Christmas.
We see the English letter X there, but actually what it involves is the first letter of the Greek name for Christ.
Christos is the New Testament Greek for Christ.
The first letter of the Greek word Christos is transliterated into our alphabet as an X.
That X has come through church history to be a shorthand symbol for the name of Christ dated back in the 1500s.
Next time you hear someone talking about how wrong "xmas" is, please teach him or her the history behind it.

Jesus is the reason for the season.

Merry Xmas to you

Meaning I can say in the name of Jesus X instead of Jesus Christ?
