I was in a discussion with a group of friends and a Muslim in our group was arguing that atheists should not celebrate Christmas, and said that Christmas celebrates Jesus' birth and many atheists do not believe that Jesus even existed, so it hypocritical for them to celebrate a holiday like Christmas. He also compared atheist celebrating Christmas with ex Muslims celebrating Muslim holidays like Eid and Ramadan.

My question is what is the counter argument to believe who believe that Christmas is a religious holiday and that atheist are hypocrits for celebrating such a holiday ?
