What I like about secular/atheistic Christmas:
-I never, EVER feel bad about not dropping money in a Salvation Army kettle. There are plenty of charities more deserving of my donations.
-I never have to do that phony 'Oh, whatever you get me is fine - it's the thought that counts.' What a load. I want cool shit, and lots of it.
-I don't have to mail out Jesus-themed Christmas cards. Year before last, my wife had some cards made that read 'Happy Christmas' and on the inside was a pop-up wang with the caption '...from our staff'. Have to be careful who you mail those to, though.
-I never feel obligated to watch the vomit inducing films of the season: 'Miracle on 34th Street', 'It's A Wonderful Life', etc, ad nauseum.
