Which holiday do you celebrate?

Pretty simple poll; the title says it all. I'm particularly interested in those who celebrate Christmas but who are not Christian, or those who celebrate unusual (in the US) holidays. Of course, this poll is designed for all.

Of the following, which start-of-winter holiday do you celebrate? If you celebrate more than one, please select the one that's MOST IMPORTANT to you.

Of the following, please select ALL the holidays that you celebrate.

Do you celebrate winter holidays from multiple religions (for example, both Christmas and Hanukkah)?

Yes

For those who consider themselves as belonging to one particular religion: Do you celebrate any religious winter holidays outside your own religion?

Yes (I'm Christian)

Yes (I'm Jewish)

Yes (Other)

No (I'm Christian)

No (I'm Jewish)

No (Other)

For those who consider themselves as belonging to no particular religion (atheist, agnostic, etc.): Do you celebrate any religious winter holidays at all?

Yes (Christmas only)

Yes (Other)

For those who do not think of themselves as Christian: Do you celebrate Christmas? If so, why?

Yes - Because part of my family is Christian, and we celebrate it with them

Yes - Because it's a personal or family tradition, even though I'm/we're not religious

Yes - Because it's become a secular holiday, so it's not just for Christians

Yes - Because why should I be left out of the Christmas fun?

Yes - Because I celebrate with friends who are Christian, or who celebrate Christmas for their own reasons

Yes - Because doesn't everybody celebrate Christmas?

Yes - Other reason (please specify)

For those who think of themselves as Christian: What do you think of non-Christians celebrating Christmas?

Christmas is about the birth of Jesus Christ, so I don't see why they would celebrate it

Christmas has become a secular holiday, so it's understandable that non-Christians would celebrate it

It's good when non-Christians celebrate Christmas, because it's a potential first step towards accepting Jesus Christ

Non-Christians celebrating Christmas is a little weird when you think about it, but it's just a normal thing in my country

I don't care what non-Christians are doing

Other opinion (please specify)

Related question: Do you celebrate both the secular, Gregorian calendar New Year's on January 1 AND another "New Year" celebration (such as Rosh Hashanah, Chinese New Year, Islamic New Year, etc.)?

Yes - Rosh Hashanah

Yes - Chinese New Year

Yes - Islamic New Year

Yes - Other New Year (please specify so I can add)

No - Only January 1 New Year

No - Don't celebrate January 1 New Year

Do you think of Christmas as being a religious holiday?

Yes

Semi-related question: Does it bother you at all when people go out of their way to say something generic like "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas?"

Yes

No, but it seems unneccessary

No, I don't care one way or the other

No, and I don't like it when people say "Merry Christmas" without knowing what holiday the person celebrates
