What I have found is that no day should be set apart as better or less than another, but that every day should be worthy of giving the Lord our best.

Romans 14:5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. 6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks. 7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. 8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's. 9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
10But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother?
How about everyone allows each person to celebrate or not celebrate without judging them or considering them to be doing something wrong?
While I do not like the commercialism at this time of year, I still celebrate Christmas. I don't bow down to any tree, don't say Santa is real and I don't get pulled into the stores with the madness of the season. I realize Jesus was not born that day, but if I choose to remember his birth on that day, it is my business and nobody else. If I choose to give anyone a gift on that day or receive any gift, it is my business alone. Just as it is on any other day of the year.
