Why do non Christians celebrate Christmas? Seriously. Why?

Well, speaking as an atheist who celebrates the secular aspects of Christmas, I do so because it's fun. I enjoy giving and getting presents, putting up a tree, watching Rankin-Bass specials, and having Christmas dinner with friends and family.

That having been said, I find the efforts of this group absurd. I couldn't care less whether someone celebrates Christmas with or without religious aspects...or, for that matter, whether they even celebrate it in the first place.

Thank you. I can understand celebrating as an observer. Christmas is a beautiful celebration in all its traditions, and the energy the Holiday brings is joyous.
