Depends on the agnostic. There is a lot of social pressure to conform around Christmas traditions, and mostly it's just consumerism nowadays.
I would think Christians would have a harder time wondering whether to include heathen or pagan (Yuletide) rituals (trees, yule log, gifts, ale, singing, feasting, lights, etc etc) in their Christian celebrations.

"Christmas" (Yule is the real word, by the way) is actually the Celebration known as "Saturnalia", which is a Pagan Ceremony. Neither "Christmas" nor "Easter" are really "Christian" celebrations, they are Pagan. Without Pagan Rites & Rituals there would be no "Christianity".

Yes I ponder that very question every day
...Christmas....or no Christmas?
Just because I dont believe in God does not mean I dont enjoy seeing little smiles on little faces :-)
...your Q made me giggle.

Nice try.....you almost had humor in your grasp.....but it slipped through so effectively, almost like you never really had it at all.
Note to smarty....are you a stalker? Are you female and of legal age? These are important questions, and I must have answers!

I'm not sure what they celebrate and what they don't, to be honest.
