I don't think that there is anything wrong with Christmas trees with presents and Santa Claus and Easter with bunnies and eggs. I think that you can have a religious holiday and enjoy the fun/commercial aspect of it as long as the fun/commercial isn't the entire celebration and the reason for the Holy Day is remembered.
I think that the Catholic Holy Days of Obligation are still true holy days for people who practice the faith. Holy Days of Obligation include:
Sundays
January 1, the solemnity of Mary, Mother of God;
Thursday of the Sixth Week of Easter, the solemnity of the Ascension;
August 15, the solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary;
November 1, the solemnity of All Saints;
December 8, the solemnity of the Immaculate Conception;
December 25, the solemnity of the Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
