A Christians celebration of Christmas should be a lot different from that of nonbelievers.

Christmas is a Christian holiday, and any self-respecting person of another religion should not celebrate a holiday that they dont believe in. Clearly, Christ is in the name of the holiday, so there should be a belief in Him.
