Humanists seek to define morality and/or ethics purely in human terms rather than from divine inspiration. On the other hand, humans are shaped by their upbringing, so there are elements of religious tradition that humanists choose to retain, such as the giving of gifts on the Christmas holiday.
The term can be somewhat confusing because it is an apparent oxymoron: one cannot both be a Christian who believes in the preeminence of divine will for ultimate morality and a Humanist who believes in the preemimence of human experience as its basis for ethical behavior. However, it can be useful to distinguish between the traditions observed by certain sub-sets of Humanists, who may each observe the respective traditions of their religious and cultural heritage.
Therefore, to answer your question explicitly, a Christian Humanist is one who rejects the religious aspects of Christianity, but chooses to maintain some secular aspects of those traditions anyway.
