I have a lack of a belief in god, I like the stories of the nativity and all that sort of thing though. I live in england though, which is a majority atheist country and most people only celebrate for the tradition. I understand in America and some other countries tho that religion is a bigger deal and more people celebrate the holidays is a more religious way.
Thank you for sharing.

Personally, I will eat far too much chocolate and drink far too much scotch/vodka/whatever else lies within easy reach, then get sad thinking about and missing those closest to me who will never rise from the grave. At least they had the basic decency actually to exist in order to change my life.
Any mental energy left over will no doubt be used in chuckling at the absurdity of xtians celebrating an astronomical event and pretending it's all magic.
eat, drink, and be merry...sounds like that is your way?
