I am an agnostic - not jewish, not christian, not anything.  I was brought up
by christians though so I celebrate Christmass.  I celebrate it as a time 
to gather my family 
together and express our love and apreciation for one another.

I imagine this is how many people in the USA regard Christmass time.
