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.
