There is no universal answer to this. For starters: Not everyone does celebrate Christmas.
From my personal observations it would appear people celebrate Christmas simply out of tradition (There has always been a Christmas to them).
Do NOT get me wrong, I know of people who celebrate it because of its Religious implications.
I also know people who celebrate it simply because: "Why not?"
As I stated, there is no universal answer.
People celebrate functions for many reasons. A special marker in a lifetime, such as a birth, a death, or a wedding are all causes for a celebration. While a funeral is not a joyous celebration, it is still a celebration to remember a major event in life.
Religious celebrations are frequently mandated by that religion. Once again, it is a major milestone within the religion. Such events as the victory of the religion's leader over adversity, a personal communication by the Deity of that religion to a spiritual leader, or the founding of the religion are all causes for a remembrance. These remembrances are called celebration.
Remembering and celebrating are man's way of passing on events to future generations.
People who are christians celebrate because Christmas is the day that Jesus was born. People who aren't christians celebrate Christmas because they can share gifts, meet people and have fun near the end of the year.
People celebrate generally because they are happy about some good fortune which has come their way, and the act of celebrating is simply an outward expression of this fact.
Celebrations are much more pleasant with food! Also, food might be part of the celebration as the food itself has symbolic meaning--for example, Passover.
