Best Answer

Christmas has a somewhat divided meaning to Christians. Some Christians celebrate Christmas, while others do not. The reason for this, is that there is dispute whether or not Jesus Christ was born at this time of year. Those Christians who believe the Savior was born during winter, sometimes celebrate Christmas but usually not as a materialistic "Santa Claus festival". Those who refer to the Bible and find it unlikely Jesus was born during winter, often choose not to celebrate Christmas and instead focus on Easter. Easter recognizes The Resurrection and triumph of life over death, while Christmas focuses on The Birth.

Why do Muslims celebrate Christmas?

Muslims DO NOT celebrate Christmas, because Christmas is a Christian holiday. Muslims follow the religion, Islam, and that is why they DO NOT celebrate Christmas. Muslims do not have the beliefs that Jesus was the "son" of God, but rather Muslims believe that Jesus was a prophet of God. So that is why Muslims do not celebrate "Christ"mas.
