Yes, I celebrate Christmas. Christmas Eve Candlelight service to keep the focus upon the birth of Christ. Afterwards back to.home and have some special foods and enjoy family time together.
Our home is decorated.Tree, stockings, garland, and other festive decorations. Christmas morning we open gifts..Big meal mid day. We listen to Christmas music.Watch Christmas films. During the season we go caroling to shut-ins. Bring cookies to neighbors.
A time of hope, joy, peace, and love. Jesus is the reason for the season.

@OverTheHill Jesus is not the reason. Read up on the creation of christianity. So many elements of paganism have been celebrated from ages before the myth of jesus.

@FlowersNButterflies . Thanks for your response. I can assure you that I have read the the Biblical account of the birth of Christ, and the beginnings of the church. Jesus is no myth, even atheists will attest to that (https://historyforatheists.com/2017/05/did-jesus-exist-the-jesus-myth-theory-again/). As it says in the aforementioned article, "The proponents of the Jesus Myth hypothesis are almost exclusively amateurs with an ideological axe to grind and their position is and will almost certainly remain on the outer fringe of theories about the origins of Christianity."
There is nothing wrong with the way that I and billions of other Christians see the world. Merry Christmas FlowersNButterflies!

@OverTheHill Just because you believe that does not make it true. Read about Origen and his writings.
