Our family tradition is to open all of our gifts sometime between 5-7 PM Christmas Eve night. Christmas day is essentially for watching the parade (not really my thing, but my mom likes it), having friends and any family that couldn't make it the night before come over, and otherwise spending some quality alone time with all the gifts. All while eating various holiday themed foods and snacks that put the 'die' in 'diabetes'.Same here. I always get so confused when Christians who know I'm an atheist get mad at me for celebrating it. It's such a magical time.
It's just a fun, relaxing way to enjoy family, friends, and free swag at the end of the year.
The War on Christmas is quite possibly the most idiotic thing in our culture. People lose their shit over:
Who does and does not celebrate
How they celebrate
Why they celebrate
It's just asinine. Do what you want, but don't freak out if people do it a different way, or not at all. Fucking get over yourselves.
