yeah...I never think about it as a day to celebrate the birth of Christ, but when you for example look at the name, it's obvious;
Merry (spelled the same way as
Mary, the mother of Jesus)
Christmas...
...but still, being an Agnostic I don't lean towards any religious organisation or beliefs while celebrating it, it's just a time of the year that I spend together with my mom, as I see her only twice a year during the holidays...and of course the X-mas spirit that still lives in some of the people...I think that's just cozy!! <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
