I can see why it's important to a point, but not nearly the point that they have thrown down his death, giving up his life in order to save us all, to a day that almost no one outside of the Christian faith recognizes.
His birth is only really important in that it leads to his death, as that's the only part of his life that effects us, besides of course his teachings.

Which is why we celebrate his birth, life, death and resurrection.

The importance of Mohammad is that he is the final Prophet of Allah. Also that it was his teachings that Islam really set off to.

Not so strange. Islam views itself as the Heir to the christian tradition (I suppose that's a poor choice of words but you know what I mean). They are an Abrahamic faith just as Christianity or Judaism (they view Abraham as the father of their belief system), however they do not agree that Jesus was the savior, only that he was one of a line of prophets, the last of whom was Mohammad.

Lord do I hate Christmas sometimes. Can't they put ANYTHING on TV to give us some variety? Whoever decided to put movies on a 24 hour loop should be drawn and quartered.

Most certainly, and worse yet they only seem to put the crappy ones on a 24 hour loop, there are a couple good Christmas movies, none of them ever play on Christmas.

I'm sitting at home after 3 hours straight of shoveling, I think I have frostbite. but oh well...
And I'm watching the Fast and the Furious series, it's actually quite G rated besides the near death races. And all the cleavage.

So I ended up standing out there for about 20 minutes helping him out, called 911, then called his mother, he was mentally handicapped, who was worried, although quick glad that I had showed up to help, and then put the antifreeze in the van. The worst part was had I gotten there like 30 seconds earlier there would be no gash in his forehead, and he wouldn't need a hospital visit, although I'm still exceptionally glad that I could help him out.
So I feel jittery and hyped up on adrenaline. Which is a fun feeling at first, but when it starts wearing off it feels pretty crappy.
Good for you, Nickswitz! It's nice to know there are some people out there who are willing to help others. I know some people who would have just continued walking on. And I understand about the adrenaline wear-off, too. You just want to crash like a cheap Italian warplane.

And if you work in retail, don't forget about the endless Christmas music that slowly bores its way into your brain, eventually draining you of your sanity, gradually reducing you to a catatonic drooling thumb-sucker. Working at Radio Shack with Sirius XM Christmas Channel on... all... day... long... will do that to you.

Touched that up a bit. Spike doing a Star Wars marathon, awesome.
Alternating Miracle on 34th Street and White Christmas, ass.
24 hours solid of A Christmas Story, someone needs to die.
