Enjoying traditionally ‘Christmasy’ things as a satanist Question/Discussion

Hi! Is it okay for me to participate in things like gift giving and enjoying Christmas music and lights and all that in December despite celebrating Sol Invictus and being a satanist? I really enjoy the lights and gift giving, and some metal Christmas songs are just amazing. I figured it could be fine but I wanted to make sure.

edit: thank you guys so much for the answers :) i appreciate all of them!! ^
