For non Christians, did you celebrate the Christmas?

I have seen some Muslims in my city celebrating the Xmas also, and I don't think that this ceremony exists in their religion. So, I want to ask the other non Christians if they do that. If yes, and if one pratices another religion, is it a proof of unfaith?

I'm Pagan not Christian but I've always celebrated the Christmas holiday..I also celebrate Yule (which is also my anniversary)...ppl often (usually Christians) wonder why I would celebrate Christmas which quite frankly I find amusing since as its been mentioned, Christmas is originally a Pagan holiday (Yule)..

Christmas is more of a commercial holiday more than a religious holiday. For us, we have the pagan traditions and not the Christan ones. Really no one is celebrating the birth of Christ since wasn't born in December.

the roots of the Christmas holiday are Pagan so I have no problem celebrating
Christmas is so commercialised anymore that no one really celebrates it as a religious holiday anymore anyway

Some people, regardless of religion, just enjoy the holiday as a way to spend time with their family (and even exchange gifts). It is considered a "national holiday", after all, in the United States at least! So why not enjoy your day off with your family? I don't consider myself to be religious at all but I still celebrate with my family.
