the celebration of Christ's birth isn't the most important part of the story (the 3 wise men were Pagans for crying out loud). The death and resurrection is the highest holiday and has the most meaning to Christians.

IMO we've allowed a lot of folks to turn Christmas into one big commercial sell out devoid of any real religious meaning.
