While many people in the world who celebrate Christmas do so with an active spiritual or religious component, a good number do not. Some have their own traditions, or prefer to approach the holidays from a more familial and traditional standpoint. The only thing more ubiquitous than celebrations on December 25th is the variety of ways in which this is accomplished. 

This got me thinking; if humans can choose to observe how they observe Christmas, how would alien species feel about the whole affair? More specifically for our purposes, how would your character approach the holiday? Would they be interested in immersing themselves in the festivities? Perhaps they’d be interested in observing from a distance. Maybe they’re simply not interested in it, or prefer not to involve themselves for spiritual reasons. 

Would your character be interested in celebrating some aspect of Christmas? Give us your vote, and don’t forget to leave a comment!

Well, even though Sami is human, she doesn't seem to care, as it wasn't really celebrated in her family during her childhood. 

Meg (Betazoid) on the other hand, loves/adores it, not the religion part, but the tree, the decorations, the gathering, the food, drinks, etc.

Solok has a profoundly spiritual side, but his Vulcan beliefs and practices are not something he thinks of in specifically religious terms. He'd be interested in the opportunities Christmas affords for quiet reflection and meditative reconciliation with the passage of time. The more festive elements aren't really his style, though.

German, being a Xenobiologist and just in general a curious Denobulan, is completely intrigued with most if not all holidays. Earth based and elsewhere! 

Nalni doesn't care all that much about such frivolous occasions  She's always finding a way to work more.
