Christmas isn't completely religion based anymore. It actually started off in the Roman Empire with Dies Natalis Solis Invicti or the birthday of the unconquered sun. Then it turned into winter festivals, then Christian based. Currently it is just a world-wide holiday centered around decorating trees and giving presents.
