Its not a faux holiday, cmon. Its just been corrupted like everything else God gave us. Christmas has become focused around the wallet and not Christ. MAKE CHRISTMAS CHRISTIAN AGAIN!
It most definitely is. December 25 was the birthday of the sun god and "Christmas trees" are condemned by the Bible.
Jeremiah 10:3-4
3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
Many people celebrate Christmas by observing all the pagan traditions which were practiced since before Christ was even born.
Ever hear of Lent? That is how the Alexandrians (whose practices were later absorbed into Catholicism) incorporated the "Weeping of Tammuz" as highlighted in the book of Exekiel into their paganized version of Christianity.
Ezekiel 8:12-14
12 Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, the Lord seeth us not; the Lord hath forsaken the earth.
13 He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do.
14 Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the Lord's house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.
On Ash Wednesday, the priests draw what is referred to as a cross on the foreheads of those who attend the service. In ancient times, that cross represented Tammuz, so it was easy to incorporate this pagan tradition.
Yahweh revealed to Ezekiel that sun worship was an even greater abomination than weeping for Tammuz.
Ezekiel 8:15-16
15 Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.
16 And he brought me into the inner court of the Lord's house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.
So believe what you want to believe, but be aware of what it is you're actually observing. These people in ancient times who worshipped the sun also sacrificed their children to Baal.
Who has money to spend on that faux holiday?

Many religions absorb practices of those before it. It helps bring those from the old religion to the new when they see it's not so different.
And the God of the Bible hates the traditions of men.
