So...Christmas is the equivilant of Mother's day?

It is just on a larger scale because it involves presents for everyone, not just Dear old Mom? And everyone, regardless of race, religion or ethnicity celebrates it?
Christians celebrate their own holiday around this time, but it is not Christmas and has nothing to do with Christmas trees?

secondly, simply by walking past a christmas tree does not mean you are not celebrating christmas or following any traditions... religious or not.

Not sure about this sentance....but I think you are trying to tell me that walking past a Chirstmas tree does not turn me into a Christian?
Fair enough, but adding a small chanukiah to the display won't bring down western civilisation as we know it either.
