It all depends on your perspective, for a long time of its history, Christmas was not a religious holiday at all. It was originally called "Saturnalia, a roman holiday celebrating the win of a war with the giving of presents. Infact it was a meld of many roman and pagan holidays, combined with the rise of the catholic church (that also renamed it to "christmas"), that turned it into what it is today. So by no means is it "supposed" to be christian, there are many ways to celebrate it, but if that's how you celebrate it its perfectly fine.

ya, i get what your saying, but "christmas" itself is the celebration of the birth of jesus, the definition of christmas is
"The annual Christian festival celebrating Christ's birth, held on December 25." everything else was of different origins and kind merged into one celebration of it all and the season itself. but what i was referring to is how the need to be polictically correct in this country (usa) and the love of money and material items has basically removed the religous part of christmas from the season itself.
