Well that depends. Are you talking about Jews as an ethnic culture or Jews as a religious group? As Judaism shares some of the characteristics of a nation, an ethnicity, a religion, and a culture, making the definition of who is a Jew vary slightly depending on whether a religious or national approach to identity is used.
Generally, in modern secular usage, Jews include three groups: people who practice Judaism and have a Jewish ethnic background (sometimes including those who do not have strictly matrilineal descent), people without Jewish parents who have converted to Judaism; and those Jews who, while not practicing Judaism as a religion, still identify themselves as Jewish by virtue of their family's Jewish descent and their own cultural and historical identification with the Jewish people.
As someone that was born a Jew may have chosen to become a Christian and therefore celebrates Christmas just as other Christians do...making both you and your friend correct although at different ends of the spectrum perhaps.

Jews don't celebrate Christmas unless they are married to someone who does. Otherwise, they go about their daily business.

If they practice Judaism ( the Hebrew religion), they just go about their business, much like any other non-Christian would.
If they are secular (Jewish more by culture or maternal ties than practicing), they may or may not involve themselves in Christmas activities.

well sometimes Hannuka (sorry cant spell) falls over Christmas so they celebrate that, otherwise its just another day just like when Jews celebrate Yom Kipper or any other holidays to Christians treat it like any other day because to them that is what it is.

i think they just go about business as usual, the big jews work on making more jews and the little jr. jews play with hanukah presents.
