It is clearly HARAM to celebrate those INFIDEL catholics holidays!

For those who celebrate any of those filthy Infidel's holidays, and yes that includes those idiotic mushriqiin shiites holidays of As-Shura or any other holiday which is not in adherence to Sunnis errgg.. Islamic holidays  must be considered as an Apostates, and the stoning of those apostates is a duty of all sunnis erggh.. moslems!

It is clearly evident as the statement of "O hear ye muslimin!, you must not celebrate the catholics holidays!" and also "O hear ye muslimin! you must not celebrate the As-Shura days or any of those mushriqin shiites holidays" appears ZERO times in the Quran!

Salam / Peace

LOL...

I think it is cool and commendable to respect and engage in other rituals in so far as they do not directly encourage evil (e.g. sometimes the extravagance of Christmas is a bit much). For example, fasting during Catholic Lent, Christmas Giving, etc are often really nice rituals that are great independent of their religious status.  Even listening to the sermons of others is great as a sign of unity.  At the end of the day, I feel Islam is a system that is not merely satisfied through saying stuff like "I''m a Muslim."  It could be that the person who calls him/herself Catholic is a far better Muslim than the one who calls him/herself Muslim.

As I often said in this forum many times, islam is not a system or sect/cult/religion. islam is an attitude / character.
Those who possesed the islam character are called muslims.. although he/she used different wording for it in his/her own tongue / culture / tradition.

In the essence, those who really meant it when they say this during their prayer..
"Let Thy Will Be Done on the earth as it is on the heaven" (Excerpt from the so-called "Lord's prayer")

And which follow as role-model / example a jewish man who prays like this:
"Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done."

Can be considered as muslim person although he/she is definitely not a Sunni or recite the Sunni Syahada or follow the Sunni's mythology of five pillars or neither he/she ever read the Quran..

muslims people are everywhere, they're being labeled by many names and could be a member of many sects/cults/religions or not a member of any sects/cults/ religions...

Nevertheless God will certainly recognized them, as Father recognized his own sons (or daughters)...
And it is not our place or authority to judge.....

It is only haram if you perform special rites and you intend to. Otherwise just treat it as "education" or experience.

Peace.

I was raised and confirmed catholic before i eventually reverted to submission to God alone. For me when I catholic/christian holiday comes up, God willing I'll be inspired to read Quran more. For instance, the past couple of christmases, I was inspired to read sura 19 'mary'. On a secular level, I also enjoy exchanging gifts with family and friends.
Catholics celebrate lent, where they give something up they enjoy for forty days, so last year, i gave up facebook for that time period. It wasn't to show that I was catholic or that i want to show solidarity with catholics, but the forty days reminded me of noah and moses and the age mohammad was went he first received scripture. Most of my family are catholic, and although they know i'm no longer catholic, God willing they might understand that their holidays may inspire people of others religions reflect on how they know God.
All information in my posts is correct to the best of my knowledge only and thus should not be taken as a fact. One should seek knowledge and verify: 17:36, 20:114, 35:28, 49:6, 58:11.
