Because, as most of you all have hinted already, what was once a religious festival
has, increasingly, given way to simply being a national tradition.

If anything, I'm tempted to start splitting hairs with the semantics on this one and say I don't "celebrate" christmas, per se, rather, I go back to visit my folks' and enjoy the holiday associated with it. I buy them shit presents as per the traditions that are usually followed in this country - note that the traditions are different for christmas in France or Germany; these have become cultural rather than religious traditions.

There's a case for saying it was always cultureal and relgieon has just piggybacked of and existing human need to brighten up the shittiest time of year.
