    Yes. I know quite a few non-Christians who don't observe Christmas (as well as some who do), and also know several Christians who refuse to celebrate it, citing the holiday's pre-Christian roots as their primary source of objection. They do not wish to celebrate a holiday that, to them, is more Pagan than Christian. Also, some people are opposed to Christmas because of commercialization, and don't want to participate in anything that would lend to promoting commerce during a religious observance.

    Me.

    I think it's ridiculous and also I get paid double time and a half... so I just work Christmas day if I can.
