If you are not CHRISTians, nor Catholic, then you are celebrating something else my friend.   Do you have a clue why CHRIST is in the word CHRISTmas?? It is because Christmas is about celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.    And people (mostly kids) receive presents because it is a representation of the gifts baby Jesus received in Bethlehem.

I dont mean to begin a religious debate, so if you are a non religious person just continue to do what you enjoy.

We're Muslim and as such I believe we should honor and respect all prophets. I've also always lived in US and grown up in a Christian family as are most of my wife and my family. It would be nearly impossible to not celebrate the Christian holidays.

So, no, we don't go to church or anything like that. We don't call Jesus a god or son of anything beyond Mary. But we do celebrate the days in the commercial manner they have been turned in to as well as have celebrations for the Eids.

I also agree that I would rather not turn this into a religious discussion. Trust me, I know more about all major religions that you might think.

RE LOL haha funny story!!  XD.    Even though CHRISTmas is more about gifts  and santa, it is a good thing that your kids have a really happy and enjoyable experience in that date.

Was the capitilization of "Christ" in Christmas intended? Or was that just a coinkidink?

I also just noticed that you, Gilgamesh, are posting something about Christmas when it is quite far away and something about Easter which has already past. Are you losing ideas? XD

mmm...Not sure if serious lol XD

It was intented, (as you may have noticed by the ideas that followed the word CHRISTmas).  CHRISTmas "main" reason of existance  (I would say it is the ONLY reason, but we would start to argue about things off-topic) is to celebrate the birth of JESUS CHRIST, the son of GOD.   I Hope that clears your doubts XD

^.^
that is why I wont tell my kids about Santa/tooth fairy/ etc..

I dont have kids yet but on days like Christmas...I can see myself with my wife setup a nice dinner...go to church (Time Square Church, New York) and spend time with our family.
