Best Answer

It is unclear what the question is asking.

If it is asking "Why do Non-Jews celebrate Christmas?", the answer would likely be: They celebrate it because they are Christians or Atheists from a Christian Background and connect with Christmas in a spiritual or familial way.

If it is asking "Why do Jews not celebrate Christmas?", the answer would likely be: Most Jews ignore Christmas; it is simply not something of any importance to them in much the same way that Christians ignore Hanukkah, Eid al-Adha, or Diwali (which are Jewish, Islamic, and Hindu holidays) because they are not relevant to their tradition. Jews hold that their savior is not yet born, so it would be improper to celebrate the birth of a false Messianic Candidate.

What do Jewish people do instead of Christmas?

Jews don't celebrate anything instead of Christmas. This is because Jesus plays no role whatsoever in Judaism, therefore there is no Jewish holiday to celebrate him. Some people mistakenly believe that Channukah is the "Jewish Christmas", however, this couldn't be further from the truth. Channukah celebrates the rejection of forced assimilation, celebrating Christmas would directly violate the meaning of Channukah.
