So how do you deal with your atheism around the holidays

December 6, 2015 at 2:35 pm

My family is religious and every Christmas Eve we have our entire family over. My sister and my other sisters family of 3 kids and her husband and my other two brothers. We tend to have a nice dinner of the best clam chowder ever. We then go and each open one present each that's under the tree. However, before this my Dad will always read that Christmas story in Luke 2..I think that's where it is. And the last 2 years I just think in my head "Wow, this all sounds like such bullshit". lol Of course I don't say that, but you get what I mean.

ALSO: Why did Christianity hijack Christmas and claim it as their own holiday? I've read that it was originally a Pagan holiday.
