If there was any reason for those who want nothing to do with Christmas to continue in their refusal of celebrating Christmas, it's because Jesus Christ may not even be in it. How do we know? The clues have always been in the Bible.
The clues have always been in the Gospel of Luke. In Luke 2:1-4, Mary and Joseph went to Bethlehem to register in a Roman census. Such censuses were not taken in the Winter due to cold weather. In Luke 2:7-8, the shepherds were in the fields watching their flocks at the time of the birth of Jesus. The shepherds would have sought shelter for their flocks at night before the arrival of the Autumn rains. Therefore, the shepherds and their flocks were not in the fields during December because December in Israel is cold and rainy.
In conclusion, those who have a disdain for Christmas should continue on with their disdain, especially when those who really uphold their disdain for Christmas do not even say "Bah Humbug!"
