Late to the party, but here are my 2 cents:

I kind of get the OP. Yeah, "most Jews aren't forced to sing Christmas songs", that's true, but also kind of not. You don't see many Jews in non Christian majority societies break out in Christmas carols. Obviously, there is some influence from their Christian enviroment. It's like Atheists in Christians countries who claim they have no religion... while it's true, they were brought up in a Christian influenced enviroment and their thought process was shaped by it. Atheists from America might celebrate Christmas secularly, but that doesn't make it a secular holiday. Atheists from, say, Egypt, wouldn't celebrate Christmas, secularly or not. But Atheists in America, as well as Jews, live in a society shaped in Christianity. You need to recognize that.

So basically, Jews aren't forced to sing Christmas songs- but there is a certain amount of social pressure on them, you know?

No, I can honestly say that there is no social pressure on most Jews to sing Christmas carols. Many successful professional singers go their entire career in this country without putting out a Christmas album. Non-professional carolers aren't evangelicals banging on Jews' doors to ask them if they've found 'We Three Kings.'

Yeah, non-Christians in non-Christian majority societies don't sing Frosty the Snowman. In the US, non-Chinese families don't give their kids lucky money on the Lunar New Year. What a shock! Some people choose to participate in the fun customs of the majority culture, even if those customs aren't spiritually meaningful to them!

Okay? But you said it yourself- "customs of the majority culture". There is social pressure to be accepted into said majority culture. It might come into realization by recording Christmas carols, or celebrating Christmas secularly, or doing any other Christian influenced action despite not being a Christian. I know that for people mainly familiar with Christian societies it's hard to see it from an outside prespective, but do try.
