Because we all lived and exists in this superficial society that requires all of us to be pretentious and superficial in order for us to be accepted and allowed to thrive for our own survival.Are you prepared to go against your society?
You certainly can do so only if you're in a position to do so.

Celebrate or enjoy.
I dont celebrate Christmas but I enjoy Christmas every year. Christmas party invitations bo liau one
Who says Jesus was born on 25 December 00XX? Nobody knows his birthday.
If you do not know your birthday, the government will record it as 1 January of the most likely year. My friend's father celebrates his birthday on the 1st of January each year, because his birthday is not known.
25 December is nominated as Jesus's birthday.
I like the spririt of giving during Christmas, because I am the one receiving.

It largely depends on what you mean by "celebrate" in your understanding.
To me, it seems like you're equating the commercialisation of Christmas with "celebration".
There are the Christians who celebrate Christmas as the birth of Jesus.
And then there are the rest who celebrate Christmas for all other matters, like snow, cold, holidays, gifts, shopping, gatherings etc.

Isnt the answer damn obvious ? Christmas is the most important festival of by far the largest religion in Singapore. Thats why the celebrations are so elaborate. So simple question also want to ask ...

christian is not the "largest religion" in sg. and i also do not think religion is the problem. can you explain why chinese new year is not as elaborate as christmas, when chinese is the "largest race", in your terms, in singapore.
its only because majority of singaporeans are influenced by the west. and the west celebrates christmas. and so singaporeans follow.
another factor, i think, is that christmas celebrations are purposely made to be so elaborate. this is for the benefits of the economy.shops tend to decorate, hold sales or promotions,if u notice.
you also must not forget about the nature of singaporeans. singaporeans dont like to lose out to each other. kiasu, in other words. when they see this friend or relative of theirs giving christmas gifts, they will tend to be paiseh if they dont give back.

We are all influenced by the media. Of how Christmases should be like. Gifts, people getting together, shopping etc. All these fueled by the shopping malls cashing in and making it like one big affair. And somemore, Christmas is near to the new year holiday as well, so making this period all the more "holiday" feel for the rest of us.
