I know a lot of people don't celebrate Christmas because they're not Christians. I also know a lot of people who celebrate Christmas but they're not Christians and they have no idea behind the religious meaning of Christmas. 
Personally, Christmas to me does not necessary have to be about religion. If you want to look at the religious origin, Christmas is about the birth of Jesus. It's a celebration of life, a miracle, a blessing, hope, joy, and a bunch of people traveling from far to get together to celebrate this day. If you ask me, you don't have to be of an religion to celebrate life, hope and joy. If you are alive today, that in itself is a miracle.
Today, two of my girlfriends arrived in Australia, and for the first time in 4 years, the 5 of us are on the same continent, same country, same city, at the same time on Christmas eve. That itself calls for a celebration.
So maybe you won't be going to church this Sunday, or you don't have a tree set up in your house, and presents stuffed in stockings, but take a bit of time and think of the following: think about what a wonderful year this has been, the good and the bad, the people in your life who have made it super special, the happy events to look back on, the exciting future to look forward to, and the miracle of life that we are all fortunate enough to be enjoying.
Happy happy holidays to all my dear friends!!!!
