I have, however, met unsaved, unchurched people wonder why there are Christians who refuse to celebrate Christmas for any reason.
One such person, referring to a member of a church I used to attend, told me, "How can you call yourself a Christian if you won't even celebrate the birth of your God?"
I have yet to hear the opposite come out of their mouths.
If judgment comes from anywhere, it comes from those in the church, not out of it. That's too bad.

Heavenly One, you have made a very good point here. I can't recall in 34 years of ministry any non-Christian questioning why we Christians celebrate Christmas. And I have lived overseas, and here in Vancouver area we are a very multi-cultural city, yet like you, the only ones I have ever heard address the issue of Christians celebrating Christmas are other Christians.
