No. Now that I have a child, it just seems practical to wrap gifts and put up a tree. We leave the religious aspect out and just use this time of year to celebrate each other and eat loads of sweets. In the past I did stay far away from anything Christmasy. I absolutely love holiday lights ???? I do dislike gathering with family and participating in mass prayer over food ??

I don't go as far as the religious part but I'm always in for a santa bar crawl.

I participate, I use any and every reason to drink and be merry

My family was Jehovah Witnesses, but my mom raised me secular and let me decide what i wanted on my own, and when i was little I definitely wanted Christmas presents, so she started celebrating Christmas. FYI my mom is awesome

baaaaaaa humbug

I buy gifts and decorate my living space with Christmas things. I don't celebrate the Christian meaning though.

It is a family event for me much more than a religious one. I generally don't go to church on Christmas Eve any more, something I used to do religiously. I don't care much for the music. I like the lights and presents and food. This year I'll be having pizza (non-traditional fare!) with my sister, her boyfriend, and our parents on Christmas Eve and playing pinochle. My kids will be with their mom doing her elaborate family traditions some of which are religious.

"X-Mas" - the mothers of the "X-Men". Coming soon to a cinema near you

No, I have no problem with that any more than I care about its pagan underpinnings. It's a fairly secular holiday in most respects anyway, so it really doesn't irk me.

No. I do not support Christianity or any religion. I was recently asked by my grandson why I exchange gifts at X-mas. I replied that I am celebrating my love of family and friends. It gives me joy to find a gift that I know will be perfect for each person. I am the only atheist in my family so it is a time when I can see my entire family and have fun together. I am NOT celebrating the birth of Jesus as they do, I am celebrating US.

Yes! I often feel odd about being amongst Christians for a Christmas gathering, because of the meaning they attach to it. It's as though by participating that I am implying to them that I share those views. In a very real way, it feels dishonest.

I don't participate in the Christian aspects of Christmas. Nothing ruins a good holiday celebration like religion does..

No i Love Christmas and don’t give a fig for the religious aspects to the celebration. Most of the religious parts have been proven to be false or of pagan origin anyway.

It's a holiday and a good time to spend with family and friends. It has been so commercialized it is easy to forget the religious aspects.

Same with Easter, chocolate bunnies, chickens, and eggs mmmm. What's not to like.
