Personally, I find the idea of celebrating a holiday from a religion you don't follow to be slightly offensive. I realize it gets fuzzy when you acknowledge the fact that people can be culturally religious but not practicing, but in general I find it ridiculous when people appropriate a religious holiday and then get upset when people acknowledge that it is, in fact, a religious holiday, and of deep significance to the people of that religious faith.
