If Christmas would be purely Christian you’d be right. It isn’t though. I’ve celebrated Christmas all my life with the items in there and I’m not religious.
Don’t want to drag this discussion into religion by the way, because it’s against forum rules and topics have been closed already. The reason that’s very hard in this case is on EA though, not on us.
You can personally be nonreligious and participate in religious cermonies/activities. That doesnt stop the activities from being religious. True, Christmas isnt purely Christian, it pulls from other religions and and got mixed together with Christianity later down the line.
A lot of cultural clothing, expressions, buildings, styles etc has a tie to religion irl. Just today in some lands people are more secular, but still observe these festivities without themselves being a practioner of the faith.
EA just gives you the tools and allows you to do whatever you want with them. Discussing religion isnt against forum rules per se, they just want discussions to remain respectful and not deviate too far from the game. There are threads on here that are centered around religion in game but dont get into debates and hurtful speech and they stay open. Most of the time people have trouble doing so, which is why they blanket it and say its against the rules.
But religion and/or religious items/religious-themed has been in many sim games, for ex Sims Medieval
