Are you a hypocrite if you celebrate Christmas even if you're not Christian? And would you let your son play with dolls?

Are you a hypocrite if you celebrate Christmas even if you're not Christian?
If you're planning a traditional Christmas with presents, a big lunch and a massive Christmas tree you should be worried. An Asian Catholic has told us non-Christians have ruined christmas because they don't celebrate it in the true sense. He says they've turned it into a commercial and drunken holiday and if you really wanted to mark it properly you'd go to church.
So - is that fair? Many of you celebrate Christmas with all the trimmings - are you helping to dilute it's true religious meaning? And if people outside your faith celebrated Eid or Diwali would you expect them to learn about the faith too? Has Christmas just turned into one big boozy party?

After 2 - Would you let your son play with dolls? A study has found girls have a predisposition to playing with dolls - apparently they want to mimic what their mums do. But if your son wanted to play with dolls and do what mummy does, would it bother you?
