Also, if a person who doesn't celebrate Xmas receives gifts for Xmas it can make them feel badly for not giving gifts for Xmas in return. I think your advice is a good rule of thumb.

(and everyone else.) On the other hand, my Jewish guy doesn't really care either way. My Jewish bro-in-law celebrates Xmas with us more enthusiastically than anyone else in the family.
