Boy do we ever! I have a jewish stepfather, a wiccan mother, two atheists, a generic christian, and a catholic. We celebrate Christmas as a time to be together, and enjoy giving of ourselves. Presents are mostly for the kids, but the adults have a great time eating ourselves silly and having a few drinks. We have no arguments, and it's all around a great day. It's pretty much completely secular for those who don't believe and for those of us who do, we might go to mass, or say a little prayer, and we're all accepting of each other. We have a menorah as well, and my stepfather has been known to pepper Hanukkah gelt and dreidels into the regular christmas stocking fare. It's great for the kids, they learn a lot about different customs as well as how to just enjoy a big end of the year festival, no matter who you are.

A lot of Sikhs in my city have Christmas trees, a big Christmas dinner (consisting of butter chicken and stuff like that as opposed to turkey), and lots of Christmas lights. The last one is probably the most common because they put them up before Halloween for Diwali anyway. Some local Sikh temples also put on huge Food Bank drives around Christmas.
