The reason why some Christians don't celebrate Christmas is because The Bible does not exactly state the date of the birth of Jesus Christ. There is no record that indicates he was born on December 25th. Besides, if Jesus wanted his birthday celebrated, don't you think he would have mentioned it? Or wouldn't there have been records in the bible indicating that his apostles or disciples celebrated it?
Christmas was first started as a celebration that fell inline with the Pagan Roman festival of Saturnalia. It was adopted by many unbelievers as the birthday of Jesus, even though the scriptures point to his birthday being some time in the Fall, and was incorporated into Church teachings in an attempt to water down the Pagan history of the celebration.
Interestingly, there is no record that Jesus observed or celebrated his own birthday.
Since the word "Christian" is defined as "Christ-like" as in imitating Christ, or behaving in the same manner as he, some feel that a true Christian wouldn't celebrate a holiday such as Christmas.
