To me, it's an excuse to put up colourful, twinkly lights. It's a good reason to take some time off work. It's the time to eat, drink, and be merry. It's rum and egg nog, with loads of nutmeg on top. It's tradition...and maintaining traditions even if we've forgotten why they started in the first place.
Why? Not because I'm celebrating anything in particular...but just because celebrating with people we love is something that makes life worth living.
