I have small grandkids and we do the traditional Christmas stuff. I enjoy it mostly.

Heck i think x-mas is fun

Christmas has, nowadays, nothing whatever to do with christianity. It's a traditional celebration of friendship and excess - where you eat way too much with those you care for, and laugh a lot, and get rat-arsed, and generally just 'let go' a bit.

It doesn't need justifying. Just pour the booze.

I have an 11 year old who loves both Jesus and Santa. I celebrate for her.

I buy presents for people just because I like making people happy. I also like the feeling long up wrapping up in a blanket next to the fire place while watching Charlie Brown and sipping hot chocolate. For me it’s really about the colors and feelings I get from being around family.
I don’t celebrate Christmas at all and the idea of why some people actually celebrate it irritates the hell out of me, but it happens to fall during part of my favorite time of year so I put on my nice face and play cordial while Christians think that Christmas is their holiday and that some magic baby was born during this time.

For me, it's just the tradition of it. My parents made such a HUGE thing about Christmas, everyone was happy and well fed with homemade everything. So it's the warm cozies that make the season. Our home was normally overshadowed by dad's abuse, but for some reason all that faded for Christmas.

I try to avoid most of the big celebrations as best I can. I just don't care anymore.

The last few years I've just celebrated my days off from work completely inebriated, but I might do something different this year...I might catch a bus to the city for the weekend, Idk

I celebrate the season. I love fall, winter, and spring. Summer is rough over here. I use to get so hot on my job. One time I had a heart attack because of a lack of potassium in my body. Ugh!

I love to watch my grandchildren glow with excitement. The happiness is awesome.

I think the holidays are just stupid and religion's got nothing to do with it. The festive decorations ("festive" uuuugh!), the music that would justify a murder spree, the dumb asses out shopping, etc. It's just stupid and I can't wait for it to be over

bring on the summer

I feel the holidays are secular enough that I'm not compromising any core values by spending time with family and friends. Besides, I think it's funny that Christians celebrate a relatively minor holiday (in the theological context) that was timed specifically to coincide with the pagan festivities around the winter solstice. It's a little petty of me, but that knowledge brings me a modicum of joy.

I celebrate community, friendship, actually anything that doesn't produce harm to others. I'm all for a good time.

For me it's the solstice shortest day the returning of light the beginning of another cycle within cycles a new year begins. The solstice has a three day standstill as the sun begins its journey back from the southern tropic 21st 22nd 23rd but every 33 yrs there seems to be a hiccup wherby the three day standstill is the 24th 25th 26th hence the significance of those reappropriated dates.

I ‘celebrate,’ though I’ve no actual ..dance, the shortest day of the year … assuming they won’t just keep getting shorter Anymore, alone, with no social or parental responsibilities, I hole up. The fun is in the challenge of gathering provisions prior to the social shutdown -- making my home look as though I’m not inside - radio silence - as the ‘seasonal music’ drives me nuts … No TV, phone in a drawer, heat turned up, movies lined up, and time to kill ~
