That’s completely false. Christmas is exactly that - Christ’s Mass, that is, the Mass of Christ’s Nativity. The very name itself tells you what was celebrated. For someone to post comments like yours in complete disregard to all known evidence about what Christians celebrated that day for centuries and centuries is the height of arrogance and sciolism.
Actually if you would like to truth, google the ORIGIN OF CHRISTMAS...or perhaps check out http://www.britannica.com/blogs/2011/12/origin-christmas-december/ you know, the Encyclopedia Britannica. Or if you have access to a library or anything like that, check out that Encyclopedia Britannica and you’ll see the truth. Also, for those who think Easter’s so great too...check that out in the Encyclopedia too. And what I can’t stand is when people are like, yeah i know the truth but i still keep it for the kids...so basically you are lying to your kids too. Gothca.
