How do Hindus and Buddhists in the United States celebrate Christmas?

We celebrate the Silk Road that connected the Han Dynasty and India to the Far Western Romans. Silk Road traders transmitted not only material wealth but also philosophical learning. The court of the Roman Emperor welcomed the wisemen of the East to partake of their wisdom. As fate would have it, around the 1st century CE these silk road travelers would have a dramatic impact on a sleepy town outside of Jerusalem. The fantastic wealth of the Eastern merchants could be mistaken for that of a king in little Bethleham, and their trade transactions would be later interpreted as 'gifts' for the birth of a boy who would radically alter the Western world with his eastern learning. Merry Christmas

Growing up, Christmas was a secular affair in my Hindu family.  Though, I think it should be mentioned that Canadians are less religious as a whole, and atheists make up a larger proportion of the population, as compared to the United States.  I've celebrated Christmas with some Christian Canadians and had no religious observances whatsoever. Christmas in Toronto is absolutely spectacular, regardless of the religion you follow. We adopted the local non-religious Christmas traditions, which included selecting the best fir from the lot, and decorating it together. My parents would also buy stockings and stuff them with the family favourite Ferreros, and candy canes. Other traditions included watching Home Alone, Miracle on 34th Street, and other CBC Specials. Under the Christmas tree, there would be the requisite Christmas barbie of the respective year which I really looked forward to, and for my brother, the trademark Hot Wheels (leading the way) toy set. My brother and I would compete over who could write the longer letters to Santa. We would stand in long lines at the mall to take a picture with Santa.  Collecting food for the Christmas Food Drive by the Daily Bread Food Bank. We also went to the awesome Santa Claus Parade downtown, to get a glimpse of Santa's sleigh and his elves. Participating in the school choir and inviting parents to watch us sing at the Winter concert. A Mandarin family we were friends with would invite us to dinner each year, and some years we attended the potluck at their church. They introduced us to Veggie Tales, and my brother and I were hooked. In hindsight, our Asian friends may have been proselytizing. Each family's traditions differ, of course, but in my experience many of the Hindu families in Canada join in the festivities. It wasn't a purely religious, or abnormally commercial. Like any religious festival, It's mostly about spending time with your family and friends, sharing and giving, and eating good food.

We join in the celebrations of our Christian friends. We exchange greetings and gifts, and our children want gifts on Christmas.  Essentially, all the social ceremony of Christmas without the religious observances.
