Non Christian spiritual with pagan leanings here (if that even makes sense, I suppose noob pagan).
For me these days Christmas is just a nice time of year for family and friends to get together. We do the whole tree, presents and meal thing. It is exciting for the kids and that makes it exciting for us. It is also a cultural thing for me, I grew up with it (mum was a lapsed Catholic) and loved it as a child. Hated Christmas for quite a few years, not much fun when the only family around have the most boring Christmases ever.
The girls as they get older will learn about all the different parts of Christmas, the Christian side, the non Christian etc As I learn more about my spirituality I can see how I celebrate this time of year evolving.
