Why don't you have a Christmas Tree or give gifts on the 25th.
Do you celebrate the 4th of July? How about New Years? Labor Day? Thanksgiving?
That Christmas has religious overtones to some is completely irrelevant to the fact that it is also an important cultural holiday and in fact NONE, that is right absolutely none of the traditions associated with the cultural holiday are Christian in Origin.
Saying I won't celebrate Christmas because it is Christian is just foolish because it is NOT Christian and never really has been.
Hell it was not until sometime in the late 1880's that the Catholic church even began allowing it's members to have Christmas celebrations, prior to that the practice was considered pagan and officially forbidden (not that very many listened).
