Really, what’s wrong with you? Just because God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son doesn’t mean you should in any way celebrate the event.....just accept this Greatest of all possible Gifts and move along, nothing to see here

LOL Nice try. We are talking about commanded holy days. The Catholic Church goes one step beyond just allowing the celebration of anyone’s birth. It feigns to become God in proclaiming it an obligated Holy Day.

Can. 1246 §1. Sunday, on which by apostolic tradition the paschal mystery is celebrated, must be observed in the universal Church as the primordial holy day of obligation. The following days must also be observed: the Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Epiphany, the Ascension, the Body and Blood of Christ, Holy Mary the Mother of God, her Immaculate Conception, her Assumption, Saint Joseph, Saint Peter and Saint Paul the Apostles, and All Saints.
