I don't see any reason why this shouldn't be the best holiday of the year for everyone regardless of religious views. For some it is a time to reflect on the birth of Jesus and what it has meant in their lives. For others, it's a time of cheerful decorations and the exchange of presents. Even my Jewish and atheist friends like Christmas because unless they are substituting for a Christian friend at work, it's a paid day off and a good day to go out and get some Chinese food. You don't need to have a religious connotation to use Christmas as a time to perhaps give some gifts to people that you love, or get together with the family for a big meal. That's the nice thing about Christmas...... you don't need to be a Christian to take part in the spirit of the holiday. Everyone likes to see a kid's face light up when they receive that unexpected present and it's a chance to be generous without embarrassment, maybe heal some wounds that were opened during the year, or just kick back for the day and take in a movie or watch TV knowing that at least for this one day, most people will be a little friendlier. Riches are not always measured in terms of material goods so if your finances require that the decorations and presents be humble, there's no limit on love and the giving of one's self. So whether Christmas represents a day of reflection about Christ, or a big portion of beef with broccoli, it's a day that we all can celebrate and share what we have with the people we love, whether those gifts are tangible or intangible.
