Christmas and Easter are essentially Christian festivals and have no special meaning to followers of other religions or to atheists. However, many see the secular side of these festivals, including the value of family and friends, and can celebrate these aspects. Children, especially, love Santa Claus and Easter egg hunts. There are some Christians who do not celebrate Christmas or Easter because they either do not like the pagan associations, or do not believe there is a necessity to do so scripturally. Others simply see the events as an opportunity to commemorate Christ's birth or Resurrection rather than celebrate in the customary manner.
