I cant speak for the rest of the world but in the United States the Christian roots of the holiday has slowly become unimportant for many people. Everyone knows that its orgins are a christian holiday but i unless they are very devout most aren't celebrating the birth of jesus anymore. They do it because its a national holiday that allows families to get off of work and get together. i'm not christian and i still celebrate it and i know others who are not christian and still celebrate it.

Buddhist do not celebrate) It's a fact. Also Christmas is celebrated in different days by Catholic Church and Eastern Orthodox Church(Russia, Ukraine,Greece) (although both call themselves Christians)

obviously no! but if they help and give something to the needy people, they actually celebrating the Christmas, because Christmas is not mean to celebrate the birth of Christ (it's not stated in the bible that Dec. 25 is the birth of Christ) but it's the time of giving and being with the family and love ones.

In fact the strange thing about this is that Christmas was originally a pagan (non christian) celebration. The Catholic church turned it into a "christian" holiday and now many Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus on this day. But now, for most people (nominal christians included), Christmas is all about Santa Claus and presents and "the season of giving".

hi raziel... i guess that only Christians celebrate Christmas but it's worldwide holiday so people got diferent reasons to celebrate... Truly Christians should celebrate because of Christ but other people do only for gifts and all that peace stuff... So i think We got different Christmas... The Christians Christmas and the other Christmas...
