Back when Miranda and Grayson were alive the Gilberts did big events around the holidays, but these days it's not like they have time to breathe and remember it is Christmas let alone take the time to actually do anything for it.
Back in the 1800s human Stefan and Damon grew up with pretty involved Christmases too, but Stefan long ago got to a point where it only made him feel emo and Damon acts like he doesn't enjoy it except for the parties and long late nights providing good access to fresh blood, but secretly they both still wish they could experience it like they did as kids still.
Caroline does go all out, loves decorating and gift giving but kind of forgets to actually enjoy the holiday outside of that.
Bonnie just kind of rolls with it, she's surrounded by people who make a big deal out of it so she gets plenty of that, but mostly she and her family just quietly enjoy the holiday.
The Originals have complicated relationships with the holiday; they have no emotional connection to it but sometimes they really like to act like it's a big deal to them.
