I was raised Roman Catholic and grew up to be a Buddhist Neopagan, so my relationship with Christmas is complicated. I still exchange presents with family and friends, send out cards that say "Seasons Greetings" and "Happy Holidays." For me, Xmas has become a holiday where we do what we should do year round: be nice, eat good food, drink good wine and be happy most of us are alive to suck another year.
We did buy a little tree this year and decorate it with some silver baubles because 1) it fits within our respective religous frameworks, and 2) I've been trained to the point where I can't imagine a Christmas (or Yule, or Saturnalia) without one.
