It's always bothered me really, and I'd like to hear what others think on the matter. Feel free to give me a good reason why non-Christians/Catholics etc should celebrate it too?

I was just thinking that it should also probably be mentioned that another reason some non-Christians would celebrate it is that it's actually not exclusively a Christian holiday. Much like Christmas, it is pre-Christian pagan holiday that was co-opted by Christians. Undoubtedly there are still pagans around today who celebrate something akin to its older form.
