Poll for atheists - Do you still celebrate Christmas and why?

Poll for atheists - Do you still celebrate Christmas and why?
I myself do. Although  not for any religious reasons, It just seems to me to be a good excuse to make kids happy. Am I a hypocrite for celebrating this holiday as an atheist?

RE: Poll for atheists - Do you still celebrate Christmas and why?
Christmas, like any other winter solstice holiday, is mostly about bringing the family together to have a good time, good food, and probably presents. Schools close down, and most people are off work. Few better opportunities to reconnect with people you may not see very often.

For those in the know, Jesus' birthday wasn't originally on December 25th anyway. So why should I care?

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.
