There is no universal answer to this. For starters: Not everyone does celebrate Christmas.
From my personal observations it would appear people celebrate Christmas simply out of tradition (There has always been a Christmas to them).
Do NOT get me wrong, I know of people who celebrate it because of its Religious implications.
I also know people who celebrate it simply because: "Why not?"
As I stated, there is no universal answer.

∙ 14y agoPeople celebrate functions for many reasons. A special marker in a lifetime, such as a birth, a death, or a wedding are all causes for a celebration. While a funeral is not a joyous celebration, it is still a celebration to remember a major event in life.
Religious celebrations are frequently mandated by that religion. Once again, it is a major milestone within the religion. Such events as the victory of the religion's leader over adversity, a personal communication by the Deity of that religion to a spiritual leader, or the founding of the religion are all causes for a remembrance. These remembrances are called celebration.
Remembering and celebrating are man's way of passing on events to future generations.
