Nothing wrong with that.
I think Christmas has acquired a more traditional meaning, even if Christianity dissipated, Christmas would continue to be celebrated as a tradition between family members, as an atheist I enjoy Christmas and I see it as a time to be with my love ones in peace without worrying about work or college, I think most people end up seeing Christmas this way and we are so used to it that we would probably keep it if Christianity was banned. Even eastern and winter vacations are set up according to Christmas and eastern, for both students and workers (those who have paid vacations) it would be hard to just change everything.

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
