We're not religious, but we have a tree and presents and put up decorations and such. We tend to treat it as a reminder to show those you love that you love and appreciate them. Oh, and as an excuse to give each other presents!
I like presents.
The family I grew up in is very religious, doing the whole Christmas Mass and no mention or display of pagan idols (ie, Santa, Rudolph, Frosty, etc.) thing, but plenty of reminders of how Jesus died for our sins (yeah, I know that's Easter, but you can never be reminded of this too often or too much). As you can probably guess, Christmas truly was happy fun time growing up in my home.
