Most, if not all of us, grew up with some lipservice paid to one Christian sect or another and we got used to giving and receiving presents and eating turkey. Why stop now? It's fun.
And as has been pointed out numerous times, a lot of the trappings of Christmas (including the actual date) is pulled from older traditions. If you are a Christian, why are you doing these Pagan things?
