Since, you are living with people around you who are celebrating, you are feeling warm. It is just psychological affact. Non-muslims living in muslims states are also celebrating Eids or feeling the same you are feeling. But still they remain stick to their religion. I have personal experience with such people.
I totally agree.
Since I became a member here in LI I am affected by the excitement and joy which Ramadan brings for my Muslim friends here, and I share in their happiness every time!
Although I am not a Muslim myself, I have found Ramadan to be another opportunity (together with the celebration of my own faith) to draw closer to God and to seek his will.
It is about sharing a part of that journey (to whichever extend I feel is right) with my Muslim friends and neighbours.
So I am not surprised that some Muslims might also catch a sense of the beauty and importance and value which Christmas has for their Christian friends and neighbours. (Which of course does not mean Muslims have to agree or participate in the actual religious celebration!)
