Because they are both pagan Holidays.....
The better question, is why do you?

I'm sure some of them celebrate Christmas, because they get the time off and because it's a fun way for the family to enjoy each others' company.
I don't think many of them celebrate Easter, except maybe to buy candy.
Black Kat: >.> Actually, the Easter Bunny and Eggs are the symbols of the Celtic Pagan fertility Goddess, Oestre (pronounced 'Easter'). They're really Oestre's Bunny and Oestre's Eggs. But honestly? They symbolize whatever you want them to. ^^

I celebrate both in a secular way because it's fun. At Easter time, I do an Easter egg hunt and give baskets to my kids. Neither of those things are religious in any form. The Easter bunny is a symbol of spring and new life.
Christmas time is very secular to me. Evergreens and pretty decorations bring light to cold dreary nights.

Easter, no. Christmas, my wife is agnostic and her family is nearby. So, yes to make them happy. Her family does not know I am an Atheist.

I celebrate the holidays as a way to reconnect with far flung family and friends. Nothing religious about it.

I have too, out of respect for all the christians around me, who buy me presents and blackmail me with guilt, into celebrating..
I wouldn't if I could - but I can't.

Why do Christians color eggs, give baskets of candy to kids and dress up like bunnies?
