I am not religious but do celebrate Christmas. I don't actually go to church, pray or spend time thinking about "Jesus". However, much of my family does.
There is also the fact that regardless of my religious beliefs it is a secular holiday as well.
If I had it entirely my way, the whole affair would be a Yuletide/Solstice kind of celebration... The end of the dark days and death and the coming of longer days and life. As I mentioned much of the rest of the family are believers so I sit quietly while they go through the prayers... and then I get on with the most important part... getting together with family and friends.
