almost all christian traditions are pagan anyway, easter, christmas, haloween and worshiping on a sunday so ive heard. it makes sense since what do rabbits have to do with jesus dying?
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

I not only celebrated Christmas with my parents, I even went to Catholic Mass Christmas morning!
Hey I'm so bad I even tried going to church at a different church every Sunday just to see what they were like. Some are pretty crazy! The worst though.. are the ones where the Pastor spots you and makes you stand up and introduce yourself to the congregation..... But some of the services are kind of fun.

I celebrate Christmas for the traditional aspects which may or may not be linked to religion or even created by religious views, but I accept it just like I do to any other religion, there is also a point of accepting and questioning which I'm sure has been talked about before.
Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust. You couldn't be here if stars hadn't exploded, because the elements - the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution and for life - weren't created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars.
― Lawrence M. Krauss
