Christmas for me is nothing more than the secular holiday of over indugence followed by the bleakness of January and February. Easter is a 3 day party where you're sad for a couple of days then party. Much nicer and actually meaningful.
Yeah, there's a Christmas mass my mother goes to on Christmas Eve at Midnight (So technically Christmas Day.) I used to go, and actually I liked those masses. We sang Joy to the World, which is one of my favorite religious x-mas songs, and other fun songs, plus the church would look really nice with Christmas lights and everything.
I prefer the version by Nelson Muntz

Joy to the world, the school burned down
And all the teachers died
The principal is dead
We shot him in the head
The janitor is gone
We flushed him down the john
And heeeeaven, the school burned down.
