If Christmas is a Christian holiday, why am I expected to celebrate it or be labeled a Scrooge (or worse)?

I would think it would depend upon why you do not celebrate Christmas.  If you do not celebrate Christmas because you are Jewish or Muslim or of some other faith that does not celebrate Christmas,  you would be labeled a 'Scrooge'.   However if you are not celebrating Christmas because you are a  squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous, old sinner, then you would indeed be labeled a Scrooge. 

I have a hard time believing that you do not celebrate Christmas.   I doubt you would have a nativity scene, but I bet you did have a Christmas tree and some lights and your children found presents under the tree on Christmas morning.
