I am confident that if it were important for us to celebrate the day of Christ's birth it would have been recorded in the Bible. Since it is not, I think we should give the date as much importance as the Bible does. Which is to say, none.
But I don't fuss at people who want to make a big deal about it and it is nice to have a season when we acknowledge Jesus' birth even if it has nothing to do with the actual day, which was certainly in some other part of the year.

And sinister means left-handed, so I'm sinister.
And, according to the KJV, God is awful!
First, it wasn't illegal 300+ years ago in America, because America wasn't America 300+ years ago. We were two continents owned by four monarchies out of Europe, at best. Now, if you want to complain to a specific people in what is now America, you are free to, but, just like 250 years ago in the 13 colonies, we're still not particularly keen on the English telling us how to run our lives. (i.e. We don't care what you're getting into a huff about.)
And as a left-handed, God-is-full-of-awe-not-awful, American, I am aware of the reason why many of the colonies were against Christmas celebrations. I'm even aware it didn't become a national holiday until the mid 1800s. And yet, I know what I'm celebrating and I have no problems celebrating it with a plastic tree, a stained glass nativity set, and toothbrushes! (Our personal tradition is to include toothbrushes in the stockings. lol)
If you feel a need to be justified on what you do now compared to what it meant centuries ago, then here's one back at you. Icons were rectangular images used to keep people stupid about the Bible, so how dare you post something like that on an iconography?

You would think one who chokes on the law so much could understand sarcasm 
(And is this sarcasm, or old-fashioned nuttiness?)
Actually "sinister" means evil. "Southpaw" means lefthanded.. lol

I would take this serious from you, except I know you have already listed every excuse possible for why you can't help the needy. How many people could you help every month if you didn't think it was more important to have a gadget (whether mobile, tablet, laptop or computer) and Internet access?
Always judging everyone else hard enough to excuse yourself from doing anything BUT judging others.

I've seen a couple houses where they only put up about 4 lights and then they have the grinch on the ground "stealing" all the rest of the lights.
I so want to do that. But my wife would be really upset.
My rule is that no Christmas stuff goes up until after Thanksgiving. I pretend it is a national law.
