We put up a tree, and lights, and decorations, but nothing religious. We make a nice meal, exchange presents.

I go out to dinner with friends and enjoy a paid day off.

Atheists and agnostics in the northern hemisphere should put up colourful lights and decorations in the approach to the winter solstice just as Christians do, but keep them up all through January and into February to help fend off the depression that can set in during that dark part of the year. Make atheism and agnosticism more cheerful than Christianity rather than less.

All the usual ways for me except the religious part. Trees, lights, decorations, music, family and friends, and all the warm conviviality shared between us, a few presents, and all that delicious food. I like it all!

Generally, I do not.

Too much food, too much drink....slobbing out in front of the telly! Missing the Queen’s speech for the unpteenth time! Looking forward to eating the cold cuts on Boxing Day. Glad it only comes once a year...hurrah!

I almost dream of the following Monday… I know, New Years is lurking.. But since it’s prettymuch devoid of religious connotations, I’ll acknowledge it. Mind you, I will have attempted to ‘observe’ (though not easy as society frantically scrambles in preparation for their christ mass) the Winter Solstice, which, being the reason for the season, allows me to lump whatever follows into the BS bucket

I usually work (I get paid double). It's just me and my pets, so I usually get new toys for everybody. The day is really more about family and less about religion because almost everybody accepts that christmas day was a pagan holiday first and the christians stole it for their own ends.

I love Christmas. It’s a time to be with my family, eat too much delicious food; exchange gifts; play with the little ones’ new toys; play silly games that are so much more fun after a few drinks (this year we have a game called ‘Santa vs Satan’.)

My daughters and I are going to go to the Christmas market and go to a nearby country estate where they have a huge lighting display. We’ll also have an afternoon with the children watching Christmas movies, eating popcorn and other snacks snuggled under blankets.

There’s no religion involved, just love and family.
