Moon Knight is Jewish too - and devotes his life to an Egyptian God. How interesting is that.
Still, he may go through some motions at Christmas; buying gifts etc.

I can't really see batman sat around the fire, opening a present and looking slightly annoyed as robin bought him that bat gadget, last year..................
Most of the original comic creators were jewish. I read a whole section devoted to it, it comes down to the history of story telling in the jewish community.
Jack Kirby was Jewish. Ben Grimm is (or at least, originally was) his comic alter ego.
All/most characters celebrate (or seem to celebrate) xmas as a means of ensuring comic book sales, since most readers celebrate xmas, and this way they identify (consciously or otherwise) with the characters. It's why most TV and movie characters celebrate xmas.
For similar reasons (ie, ensuring sales), it's why you have few ethnic characters (since we live in a predominantly white society); and I imagine least popular these days would be a Muslim character. Too bad, because an Islamic superhero would make for an interesting character study in this age of terrorism.
