Yes, Christmas is so commercialized these days that it's become as much a cultural holiday as a religious one. I believe most non-Jewish Americans celebrate Christmas, even if they aren't religious.

Yes, I celebrate the holiday but my "Christmas" is the winter solstice, the pagan "Christmas". Many modern customs came from Paganism.
Peace.

Why not? You get to spend time with your family. For me that doesn't happen very often, so I always look forward to Christmas for that reason.
