Almost all religions have a festival of lights at this time of year. It's got bollock-all to do with CHRISTmas and everything to do with the nights being long and the days being short in the northern Hemisphere.
Sincerely, your local neighborhood non-citizen atheist who has thousands of lights decorating the house and yard and gets thank you cards from the neighbors for cheering them up by keeping them in throughout long, miserable January.
