What do you think is the appropriate way for you to celebrate the holiday?

Should you celebrate it like other people want you to celebrate it? Should you celebrate it like your wife wants you to celebrate it, your girlfriend, your family, or should you celebrate it the way you want to celebrate it? Should you do the things you want to do? Now, of course, if you have kids and you believe in Christmas, of course, you should do things with them, help them open their presents, help them assemble things.
