how many liberals here celebrate Xmas

Mostly they just give and receive Christmas presents like everyone else. Christmas is not just a Christian holiday, but a winter holiday.

Winter holiday is that liberals way of sidelining the truth.

December 25th, Christ born in Bethlehem, Judea. This day, December 25, 336, is the first recorded celebration of Christmas. For the first three hundred years of the church's existence, birthdays were not given much emphasis--not even the birth of Christ.

Xmas has nothing to do with gifts or winter holiday.
 
Jesus was not born on December 25th. Shepherds would not have been grazing their flocks at that time of the year in Bethlehem. The tradition of gifts was a part of the ceremony because the Magi (assumed to be Zoroastrian priests) brought gifts. Best guess is that Jesus was born between May and October (when shepherds would have been in that area grazing) and some year between 4 and 6 BCE.

OF COURSE Christmas is related to gift giving ( because of the Magi) and winter (because the Church decided to celebrate Christmas in December, which is of course in the winter.
