I will answer your question but first, I need to inform you, and everyone else who may not know, that Christmas is not just a religious holiday. Christmas, just like the Fourth of July and Labor Day, is
A FEDERAL HOLIDAY!!!
Christmas is A FEDERAL HOLIDAY declared by an act of THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!! That means Christmas is a holiday FOR ALL AMERICANS!!! Please stop being so intolerant of those who don't share your beliefs.
Now the answer: The nonreligious celebrate Christmas as A CULTURAL HOLIDAY while Christians celebrate Christmas as A RELIGIOUS HOLIDAY. I am not an atheist but I believe that atheists have every right to celebrate Christmas as all other Americans do. By the way, Christmas is celebrated by people in all walks of life THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE WORLD!!! One more note: According to a historical webpage of the University of Illinois, the first decorated Christmas tree was in Riga, Latvia in 1510 (many centuries after the Birth of Christ).
