Why or why not?

A true xtian would reject the Pagan trappings and focus on its religious context. Good luck with getting kids to choose Jesus over Santa

@JohnnyNoir I'd never ever try to make my daughter believe in Jesus as I firmly disbelieve in Christianity and all the biblical hypocrisy but she is firm believer in Coca Cola Claus aka Santa. Go figure.
@JohnnyNoir A true xtian? I don't know any xtians. True Christians never leave "Christ" out of Christmas. Nor do they substitute an "X", where Christ should be.

@LadyGrace We need freedom from religion not freedom of religion. Anyone should be free to 'X' out Christ if they wish to. Free world remember.
@zonavar68

People should be able to celebrate Christmas as they like, but I'm saying for Christians, it's not about the religions of this world. Jesus didn't die for religions. He died for people and when one commits to Christ as their Savior, we consider it a personal relationship with Christ, not with religion. Religion didn't die on the cross for our sins but Jesus did. And yes anyone can X Out Christ if they want. That's not my point. Just don't ask a true Christian to do it. His death meant something very deep to us and personal because he died for me as a person, not some denomination. It is a way of life in Jesus was against religion himself. Religion to him was nothing but man-made philosophy and that was the points I was making. For true followers of Christ, there is no Christmas without Christ.
@zonavar68 However, Christians don't believe in Christianity to save them, they believe in Christ. Big difference.
