The Jewish people didn't believe that Jesus Christ was the true Messiah. They thought that he existed and was a good man, but was not the son of G-d. For this same reason they don't celebrate Christmas, Good Friday, Easter and any other holiday involving Jesus.

Can the orthodox Jew use electronic on Saturday?
Orthodox Jews generally refrain from using electronics on Shabbat, which begins at sundown on Friday and ends at nightfall on Saturday.

Some Orthodox Jews may use certain pre-set devices that are permissible according to Jewish law.
What do Jews do if Christmas day falls on a Saturday?
The question as written is confusing.Religious Jews do not celebrate Christmas, so when it falls is completely irrelevant to any other extant Jewish celebration.
