Depends on what you mean by celebrate Christmas.
And FWIW Christmas is the 25th December to the 5th January.
Both Christmas and Easter were both originally pagan anyway. The Christians amuse me. In their eyes that is all there is and all there ever has been. But when you are deluded enough to believe that kind of stuff then nothing is off limits. All an accident of birth and upbringing. Nothing whatsoever to do with rational thinking and evidence. This is proved by the fact that if they'd been born in a particular area of India they'd be Hindus and if they were born in Saudi they'd be Muslims - worshipping different gods but still as convinced that what they have been told is correct, although it is not compatible with what they claim to be correct currently.
I don't know how many gods have been invented by humans over the years. I've studied the subject in a fair amount of depth and can certainly recall several tens of gods. Let's declare 50 - I'm sure it's more - but 50 will do to make the point.
Christians aren't so far away from the default, rational position where we all start from, which is atheism. They're only one god away. So in that respect they're better than the ancient Romans or Greeks.... but still deluded.
