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.

Do orthodox Jews celebrate Hanukah?
Whether they are Orthodox, Conservative or Reform, Jews do not celebrate Christmas. That holiday commemorates the birth of Christ (which originally meant "messiah"). It is Christians, not Jews, who recognize Christ as the messiah, which is why Christmas is part of the Christian religious tradition and not part of the Jewish religious tradition. Sometimes people say that Jews celebrate Hanukkah "instead of" Christmas. That statement may reflect modern appearances, but it isn't historical nor is it accurate. Unlike Christmas, Hanukkah is a minor holiday (actually, it is a festival like Passover, but a minor one). It commemorates a Jewish refusal to assimilate and be like other members of the broader, non-Jewish society and government. For Jews and others to treat Hanukkah as if it were "the Jewish Christmas" is to miss the point.
