This is a Christian holiday, but haven't you noticed that there is a Jewish holiday that falls real close to December 25?
Yes. There also pagan holiday's that were celebrated on or around December 25. These holidays are more relevant than Hanukkah as they were celebrated in Rome at the start of Christianity and are religions that directly competed with Christianity.
I am not saying Christmas is not a Christian holiday. It is. I am saying the date of the holiday and some aspects were chosen to help convert pagans to Christian. Does this invalidate the holiday and what is celebrate? Not at all.
