Yes we should celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. That doesn't mean Santa Claus or Christmas trees.
Christmas is celebrated in many places on January 6th or Jan 7th. The early church celebrated Christmas on Jan 6 or 7 and most Eastern Orthodox Christians still observe Jan 6 or 7 as Christmas.
There are some wild theories that Christmas is a pagan holiday. Some people claim the Pope moved the date to dec 25 to align with Sol Invictus or Saturnalia. While we may not know the exact date of Christmas, it is a fact that the early church did not borrow Christmas from pagans. The pagans hated Christians and they hated Christmas.
