I buy the presents, eat the food drink the drink and spend days wih my relations. I decorate the house and send cards.
I dont go to church of course and tend to think of it more as saturnalia or yule than christmas but you'd never know.
Winter would be dull without it.
If it wasn't for the fact I have kids, plus obvious family peer pressure, oh and an excuse for a piss up, to be theologically honest I cannot come up with a good reason to celebrate christmas.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
