Didn't work when Oliver Cromwell tried to ban it in 1649, won't work now, although not for the same reasons.
It does not matter how many religions are represented in this country, Great Britain is a Protestant Christian country. Would you go to Saudi Arabia and expect them to tone down Ramadan and Eid because you were a Christian or put a Christmas tree up for you?
Christmas is not about giving presents to children, it's what you make it. If you have made your Christmas just about "the children", then you only have yourself to blame.
