SO I personally don't see why it would bother non-christians to celbrate it because for many pagans, it was their holiday first, and besides the world is set up so that most people use their 2 week vacation time for something so why not give gifts in the spirt of giving and all of that...
You have many Christians you don't celebrate Christmas, myself included starting last year.
But even thought I dont celebrate Christmas anymore, some of these stories were touching.

It's no secret that December 25 is not the actual birth date of Jesus Christ, however, that is the day that Christians have chosen to honor our savior. The date isn't as important as what is actually being celebrated, which is the birth of Jesus Christ.
I will always celebrate Christmas for it's true meaning, but, not the meaning that society has deemed it to be. I think this is what many Christians mean when they say, they don't celebrate Christmas anymore. This goes for Easter as well.
