Why do Jews do not celebrate Christmas?

Answer 1

Besides for 2 exceptions, all Jewish holidays were given to Moses by G-d on Mt Sinai more than a millennium before the protagonist of Christmas was born.

Jews don't celebrate Christmas because Jesus plays no role in our lives and beliefs. Christmas is a Christian holiday, not a Jewish one.

For exactly the same reason that Christians don't celebrate Ramadan, Yom Kippur, or the Chinese New Year: Because the date doesn't mark any occasion or event that has any significance in their history, philosophy, or culture.

Answer 2

Religious Jews ignore Christmas; it is simply not something of any importance to them in much the same way that Christians ignore Hanukkah, Eid al-Adha, or Diwali (which are Jewish, Islamic, and Hindu holidays) because they are not relevant to their tradition. Jews hold that their savior is not yet born, so it would be improper to celebrate the birth of a false Messianic Candidate.

Liberal Jews in Western countries (especially the US), may celebrate certain aspects of Christmas, contrary to Jewish religious teachings. Some of these aspects may include getting a conifer tree, but labeling it a Hanukkah Bush instead of a Christmas Tree, claiming that Santa will visit homes on Hanukkah to provide presents, saying Merry Christmas instead of "Season's Greetings" or some other religion-neutral expression, etc. However, no Jewish family of which I am aware celebrates anything on December 24th or 25th except a customary trip to the local Chinese restaurant. (Again all of these are counter to Jewish religious teachings.) No Jew recognizes the Christian claims about the alleged miraculous events that took place roughly 2000 years ago concerning Jesus, nor celebrates those at Christmas-time.

Answer 3

theyre JEWISH, not christian, Christmas is a christian religion.
