Never have since I was raised in a religion that doesn't celebrate it. I've always questioned why people celebrate it since Jesus' birthday is not December 25th.

We celebrate it for the PRESENTS Ofcourse!. On more of a serious note I enjoy this Holiday as well as ThanksGiving because it brings families together and helps us appreciate life. ( in my opinion)

That's actually probably partially correct. Though I think the date was originally chosen to interfere with the solstice celebrations, it was probably never moved in order to keep it from interefering with other money-making holidays, once it became a money-making holiday of course.

Well just change that we to I :) because I was really speaking for myself LOL. I'm sure many people have different reasons for Celebrating Christmas including your statement of it becoming a money-making holiday

Some pagan tradition was that December 25th was a 'festival of lights'. Since to Christians Jesus is 'the light of the world' we feel it's proper to celebrate something like that.

Yes but do we need a specific day to do that? Everyone should do that everyday. Christmas is supposed to be about Jesus' birth, not getting presents, visiting Santa Clause, or decorating a tree. Besides that, the Bible never gives the day Jesus was born nor does Jesus ever command to celebrate his birth.
Of course, that's only if you look at it from a religious point of view. You don't have to be religious to join in on the festivities, although again Christmas is supposed to be about Jesus Christ.
Yes. Minus the religious part of it. (Which actually has no real bearing on the day anyway since christians pretty much just took the winter solstice and changed the name.)
not really, I don't have a christmas tree, I'm not religious, I'm not going to church. I do go to eat at my parents place on the first day of christmas. But on the second I'm going to the local snackbar haha.
I'm not religious at all, yet I still celebrate Christmas and Hanukkah with my family. That is all it is really about for me - getting to spend time with my family.
