It's a holiday widely celebrated by non-Christians. People mostly care about the gift giving bit, alcohol, and food, rather than any religious angle.

You see similar things going on for Valentine's day, Easter, Saint Patricks day, etc. Sure, there is a religious aspect, but the non-religious celebration is dominant.

I work on a globally-distributed team.

My colleagues in India had a Christmas celebrations in their office. I asked them if they celebrated it growing up, and they told me they first started celebrating it in University.

We have Diwali parties in our US office. Everyone has fun.
