  celebrate as in what?
  
  saying "merry christmas" when u see eachother, buy presents for one another, dine together. this is very common what, nothing wrong with doing all this what? why do u want to differentiate it between christians and non-christians?

  many singaporeans are sadly just blind followers.
  pple do what, they follow.
  they nv pause and think. what does xmas mean to me?
  all flock to orchard road, thinking it is wintery?
  i buy present, u buy present, all buy present.
  
  very stupid folks. just like what Li Ao said.

  How do to specify CELEBRATE? Normally, ppl jus to hav gatherings wif frds, exchanging gifts is fun. But non-christians didn't go to churches for xmas carols wat. There's still a difference.
  
  In another way, it shows non-christians can accept christanity stuffs but not vice-versa

  Yes, and we can add that it's a holiday where you can stop work at the end of the year and be with your loved ones and family.
