Speaking from an Austrailan perspective, there are many non-christian families that have christmas festivities not to celebrate the birth of christ but to get family and friends together and enjoy.
Governement and most institutions dont enforce a christian Christmas here but they dont make a point of making it multicultural either.

Christmas is a nice holiday. One may not be interested in the religious factors but this is a holiday that unites the world along with Newyear.

Chrismas is the day of the Holy Family.
Thge Holy Family is your family. So it is thought and celebrated here in Germany and not only as the Birth of Jesus Christ.
People use to vist their families and friends and ease the tension with their foes during this time.
The funniest thing is that though the Christmas is the feast of the family a lot of problems occur especially during the three days 24th to 26th.
A lot of people are depressive during this days because they feel they are lonely.
Christmas should become a international family holiday than a religious one. It should be like the International Worker's Day 1st of May

I think christmas arose from a pagan rite regarding the family. The Christmas-tree is originally from Germany.
Raghu,
same to you but still it si too early to say that.
HO! HO! HO!

Any festival that brings people together should be a cause for celebration. Lets not look at it as a Christian event but as another reason to forget our differences and to be merry.
We have many reasons for being thankful for and if you have the opportunity to join a group that is celebrating, then by all means join in. Bring your family along. Festivals are meant for sharing and caring. I think it makes little difference in what you believe in, when there is so much to be happy about on this special day.

Here I noticed that my colleagues say 'Merry Christmas' to each other and 'Happy holidays' to me.
A big supermarket chain called Macy's have decided not to use 'Merry christmas' instead use 'Happy holidays' only. The courier company UPS fired an employee for saying 'Merry Christmas' to a client at the time of package delivery.
They feel that non-christians feel offended when you say 'Merry Christmas' to them.
I always reply back by saying 'Merry Christmas' after all whats wrong in celebrating some others religious festival. I think most of us feel the same way. Right?
So "MERRY CHRISTMAS" to all of you.
