I am not a Christian but I do celebrate Christmas with friends. But I celebrate it with a bunch of friends. We always have a christmas dinner together few days before christmas or on christmas eve. We exchange gifts. Some years, we even went to church to feel the Christmas atmosphere.

A few days before Christmas, I stay over at my grandparents house. On Christmas day and boxing day, the whole family gets together at my grandparents home and we have christmas dinner together, play board games and/or watch tv. We generally just hang around each other and talk. Before dinner, we share presents and record it on the video camcorder.
Not many of us are religious, and we don't think of Jesus at this time, we just think of each other and enjoy the time.

Well I think celebrating Christmas is very much similar the only difference is that of course on a per country basis its different in terms of what they eat and how they enjoy the day.
In my place I guess its much simpler visiting relatives and then joining them in their festivities and exchanging gifts of some sort is always part especially for the children.

Merry advanced Christmas!! 
Finally the long awaited Christmas is here again!! Well, I am just going to celebrate it like every other year. =D And that is with my group of Secondary School friends. The bunch of us will meet together and go about for the countdown to Christmas on Christmas Eve and thereafter, might just go for some Karaoke session or just a get together meal on that special day.
It's also a good gathering as we don't meetup that often as all of us get by with our own lives as we get busier and busier with our own stuff - working, studying, marriage and all those stuff. And that is to the extent that this group of friends will not meetup or its hard to organise a gathering as all of us have busy schedules! So, I am so looking forward to the annual Christmas gathering! 
I don't celebrate Christmas with my family as well, my family doesn't celebrate Christmas. My mother is a Buddhist, and so she does not believe in celebrating the brith of Jesus as that is a Christain belief. Her retort to Christmas is that she is not Christain, so why should she celebrate it. Lol. THat's the older generation for you. *Shrugs*

on Christmas Eve, my husband's parents and some friends are coming over. i'm cooking a big dinner. we're having turkey with stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, jellied ambrosia salad, creamed brussels sprouts, spinach dip, cranberry sauce, Christmas bread wreath, dinner rolls, and cake for dessert. just before bed, we'll hang our stockings up and my son will put out eggnog and cookies for "santa". Christmas day, we check our stockings first thing in the morning and then open the presents that are under the tree. after that, i'll cook a nice breakfast (pancakes, sausage, and eggs). sometime in the afternoon we'll go to the theatre to watch a movie. this year we're probably going to see the movie "bedtime stories"
