Yes, I still do, although even when I was still Christian, Christmas was more about spending time with family than it was about Jesus for me. My family was never big on Christmas Eve services. The most religious thing we'd do is sing lots of carols, many of which aren't religious. So, most of the holiday is still the same, from my perspective.

Oddly enough, my wife asked me last Christmas if that time of year was hard or awkward for me. I basically gave her the same answer. What's awkward is her wanting me to keep going to church on Sundays.
