Druids (or 'In Druidism') do not celebrate Christmas as it does not side with their beliefs mainly because they do not believe in God. Though many of those who don't celebrate Christmas don't believe in him either.
During the iron age in Gaul, Ireland and Britain (And who knows where else) Druids are Celtics and were seen as magical beings who held the ability to cure and so on. They were kind of like Philosophers, Wiccans, Healers slammed into one person.
Druid(esse)s may not celebrate Christmas but they do celebrate the Winter and Summer solstices where the sun reaches it's highest or lowest point in the sky. And they do have a celebration on December 25th where the sun reverses it's annual cycle.
There are still solstice festivals today held around Stonehenge and there are many rituals that take place.
The druids actually died out around the time Christianity came into the picture but even so I believe they still exist somewhere alongside those stealthy unicorns.
