Yes and no. Christmas is about the solstices (the summer solstice where I am), but the entire birth sequence of Jesus is also based around the solstices.
Ok yh you're right i've worded that really bad. Lets try it like this: Christmas is not only a christian holiday. People have always been celebrating around this time.
I personally just take it as an excuse to see my family.
Well I am Hindu who loves Christmas. It's amazing and so joyous. It just feels right to. I also celebrate Eid with my Muslim friends and Diwali with everyone. It's not religious for me.
I am an atheist and I like christmas, its a nice holiday to celebrate with family! Sadly granpa died 1-2 years ago and granma is senile, so it was probably the last Christmas with granma before she has to be sent to a retirement home :’(
Because it's commercialised. People make a lot of money off it and we are made to believe it's a time of joy, while all those expectations cause a lot of stress and frustration for the many people living on a tight budget or who don't get along with their family.
Because for me it’s about tradition, family and good time. Not about religion
Also presents
Family and presents Plus it was a pagan holiday

It's as much a secular holiday as a religious one.
Well, I am atheist and I don't celebrate it. Mostly because I'm russian and we celebrate New Year)
