Why do many non-Christians celebrate Christmas? Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Jesus, so I just don't understand how anyone who doesn't believe in Jesus could celebrate his birth just for presents. And why do nonreligious people have to celebrate Christmas? Why not Hannukah or Kwanza?
Also, why do people who only celebrate Christmas and Easter consider themselves Christian? (people who don't pray or go to church, but still celebrate Christian holidays) (link)

I'm sorry if this reply is too late but I have to answer it.
Firstly (and although nothing to do with your question, but I want to correct this misconception)
" Have you ever heard of Xmas? It's not just an abbreviation, it's some non-Christians way to take Christ out of Christmas."-In ancient Greece, Christ was spelled "Xristos", Xmas is just a shortening of that.
And if you are so worked up about non religious people celebrating Christmas, why do you want them to celebrate Hanukkah-which is a Jewish holiday ?
The people who only celebrate Christmas and Easter consider themselves Christians because(IMO), they have been led to believe that celebrating the holidays makes them Christians. It is the same as the people who go to church and then forget about God until the next time they go to church(not read the bible or pray for example)
