Yes there are some people who don't celebrate Christmas.
Pagans of all sorts celebrate Yule or the Winter Solstice; Jews celebrate Chanukah; some Christians do not celebrate Christmas, as they do not believe 1) that Jesus was born on that day and 2) it was not an instruction in the bible to celebrate his birth. There are atheists and agnostics who do not celebrate any of the above.

Probably about 75% of the world. Just because we do, doesn't mean everyone does. However, the PC stuff is out of control. If a Jewish person told me Happy Hanaukka (spelling?) I would not be at all offened by that. I have some Jewish freinds and they aren't upset at a Merry Christmas. But don't assume that all people celebrate christmas-even some Christian groups don't celebrate it in the way most people due.

Yes. There are non-Christians who don't celebrate it, as well as Jehovah's Witnesses that choose not to celebrate it. Also, there are evangelicals who demand a "war on Christmas" because of its inherent evil because of the Pagan traditions picked up along the way.

I celebrate Yule. Christmas is overrated. Why are there only two times of the year where bright colors are allowed?
4th of July
Yule.

Jehovah's Christian Witness do not celebrate any holidays tainted by pagan origins and lies. We follow the Bible's wise counsil found at Gal 4:8-11__"At one time you didn't know God. You were slaves to gods that are really not gods at all. But now you know God. Even better, God knows you. So why are you turning back to those weak and worthless beliefs? Do you want to be slaves to them all over again? You are observing special days and months and seasons and years! I am afraid for you. I am afraid that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you."
2 Corinthians 6:17__"“‘Therefore get out from among them, and separate yourselves,’ says Jehovah, ‘and quit touching the unclean thing’”; “‘and I will take you in.’”
Christmas is very "unclean" It is comprised of drunkeness, lies, greediness, commercialism and pagan origins, so in light of all these "unclean things" we have nothing to do with it.
