Do Christians also celebrate pagan holidays like <span >Christmas</span>?
Update:
Edit: Why do some of you become irritated when I ask this question but not when somebody else asked the question, "Do atheists also celebrate Chrisitian holidays like Christmas?"? Why do you have a double standard?

Jesus is the Reason for the Season. Anything pagan is an add-on.
Actually, all the holidays go far back beyond written history - they've had lots of religions hooked to them over the Millennia.
Sounds like you're pissed off because we took a pagan holiday and transformed it into the celebration of the Savior's birth.
Why would Pagans celebrate Dec 25, surely they would logically choose Dec 21 the shortest day of the year.
Yep... a lot of Saints' days, for example. Easter is another one. But really the origin of holidays is irrelevant. What matters is throwing a good party for friends Christian and non-Christian alike.
christmas is a pagan holiday, hijacked by xians many years ago, and a lot of them celebrate it with pagan symbols and rituals like - exchanging gifts, a tree, ornaments on the tree, lights on the house, etc
and, they're so bitter and angry, they'll give me thumbs down for listing facts here
They even have pagan symbols like christmas trees and easter eggs.
What do you think? Geez...nothing better to do on Christmas Day?
Apparently, since they'll get up in arms when any non-Christian dares to celebrate it. And they tacked their name on it, too...how arrogant.
True Christians don't.
EDIT - My God Reigns - Antichrist has the word christ in it too.
