    When we speak of Christians, we all know that this is a commonly known holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. Believe it or not, I grew up in a Christian home where we did not celebrate Christmas. My parents believe that Christmas is a pagan holiday, Jesus was not born on December 25th, and that the bible doesn 't ask us to celebrate Jesus ' birthday. Well now that I 'm older, I 've decided to show pluralism to the Christians who celebrate Christmas. Therefore, even though I don 't believe in the celebration of Christmas; I still go to Christmas parties and respect those who do. On another note, my parents and I are not the only Christians who choose not to celebrate Christmas, there are others. Along with Jehovah witness, some Muslims, Indians, and of course Jews whom celebrate Hanukkah.…
