To celebrate your birthday everyone did things that had nothing to do with you personally. Also they only focus on the moments that you were born, and some time later when you were about two years old when some magicians came by your house.
Your birthday has had its date changed, borrowed from a more popular individual (who was around way before your birth), and to make matters worse a fat dwarf in red pajamas and a pine tree with jewelry on it now is a reminder of what you represent?
I thought Jesus is about His death, burial and resurrection?
Isn't that celebrated through the water baptism in Jesus name?
Just a thought. 
In Jesus name

I have one better,
Suppose you are a famous Jew who destroyed the works of Adolph Hitler!
You rose from obscurity and singlehandedly stormed Hitler's castle and killed him, liberated the Jews and others in the concentration camps, and had a philosophy that, if embraced, would give you peace and rest in your spirit.
Wanting to honor this Jew, we can't, no one knows when he was born.
What shall we do, FLASH!!!!!
Let's celebrate his birthday on April 14th!!!!
We will celebrate it with Swastikas and Eagle Banners, Ziek Heil we will cry!
Who cares if this was Hitler's birthday? We don't. No, we are going to honor this Jew by taking back Hitler's birthday and giving it to this one who gave his life for us.
Pass the stein? And paint the little mustache on the Jew's picture!
Now, That's honor where honor is due, right?
