Do You Celebrate Christmas?

RE: Do You Celebrate Christmas?
Things which only exist because of cultural or religious significance are irrelevant to me. No celebration is had. I do like egg-nog and turkey, though.

Yeah we celebrate it. My family has always celebrated it which is sort of funny I guess because both my parents are atheists but whatever. It was never about Jesus growing up and still isn't. We just like getting together and giving each other stuff we don't need. And I LOVE Xmas lights!

Last year I got a card off Shell depicting a snowy woodland scene with a pair of Cervidae ruminants, specifically Dama Dama. With a feed like that, I'm afraid I couldn't resist.

"I can't accept this," I told her. "Look - it's two deer."
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

I'll take whatever excuse for merriment I can get. Plus, it's my birthday, and on my birthday, I do what I want.

Of course.

1) I'm still culturally Christian

2) Non-Christians celebrate Christmas anyway

3) Christmas was Pagan to begin with
