Sorry, when I said "I let them", I really should have said, "I have no problem with them", I'll go change that. Regarding the rest of your arguement, I reckon I'm not going to be able to change your beliefs over the internet, if at all, and you aren't going to change mine, so I think we'll leave that here.thePyro_13 said:

I'm not religious, and I basically celebrate Christmas as an excuse to drink alcohol during the day.
I just find it funny that some people still believe Jesus was born on 25th of December, along with all the other sons of gods and what not.
Christmas is a pagan thing if im right, and anyway I see it as a celebration we have every year where we give presents, love one another and get very VERY drunk. ^^

Eh, I like hanging out with my family, unwinding and getting free stuff. Besides, originally pagan etc. etc.
By "celebrate christmas" I assume you mean giving presents and eating christmas lunch, rather than going to masss which is "traditional christmas."
Exactly!ilspooner said:I am an atheist, and I still have christmas. It brings the family together for a day, where we can all laugh, have fun, and eat good food. And presents. I love presents.
You don't have to be christian to embrace the values celebrated at christmas. Idealism aside though, the holiday is functionally a cultural, rather than religious, event. It has been for a long time. This is why I'm so annoyed at the idiots who try to make it more politically correct. Everyone should be able to celebrate and enjoy christmas, regardless of religion.

Really? i always though that this only counts with a P (big P and an x in the middle) sorry, it has been years since i had to learn that....
still, x-mas is just a bunch of pagan etc holidays bundled together by church.... seriously look it up, no part of x-mas is Christian only.
strange, right now i happen to be watching this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppGOor-73DY&feature=sub
Agnostic, not sure if that counts in relation to the topic though. My family celebrates it, so do most of my friends, why not get involved. I will however make sure to switch the gift giving around for my non Christmas celebrating friends, all zero of you.
I'm an agnostic and I celebrate Christmas as the one day of the year that I know I will have free.
The freaking sun turned yesterday, not litterary, and we are heading towards brighter times.
that alone is enough to celebrate if you ask me,if the capitalists wants to make a profit on it then they will, and a stressfull bliss has become the true face of Christmas. all that religious humbug has come and gone as it should. now lets focus on the love.
