Christmas isn't even really religious anyway. My Hindu and Buddhist friends love Christmas, and they don't care whatsoever about Jesus.

Look at how much of Christmas doesn't involve the birth of Jesus.

  • Mistletoe
  • Gingerbread
  • Grinch
  • Santa
  • Elves
  • Flying reindeer
  • Trees and decorations
  • Yule logs
  • Crackers
  • Stocking
  • Cards
  • All the food and drink
  • Office parties
  • Consumer sales

Etc.

Same for japanese, if manga and anime are any indication.

Human just needs a winter gorge and christmas has a nice concept. Call it yulfest if you want.
