Anyone practicing Christmas??

There is no way as an atheist for me, I could cut out Christmas. I will forever celebrate it. For me the holiday is about spending time with loved ones, giving back if you can, and of course, the pretty trees, lights, food, and presents. But I don't see the harm in that. How many Christians truly celebrate Jesus' birth that day without any of the gifts and lights? I've never seen it. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with giving and receiving presents. It's fun and makes you feel good. For me I am so so excited to send a gift to my friend in England. That's what the holidays mean to me. She's been there for me for the past 5 years or so now and deserves something special. Not much has to be taken out of Christmas in order to celebrate it. For me it only means no more going to a special Christmas mass on Christmas Eve but that's fine. That was a fun memory. Fun, but it's in the past. I personally still love all the Jesus-themed songs. Does it mean I believe? No, but who said you had to in order to simply enjoy singing or hearing the song?

That's the holiday in my world.
