Hate Christmas? It's all about enjoying life and celebrating that.

We don't. What the heck gave you that idea - or was it reading some nonsense spouted by a theist who hasn't got a clue about what ab atheist really is?

I don't hate Christmas for the most part. I'm not into the religious aspect of it. Also I don't like how it has become a capitalistic free for all. Everyone maxing out their credit cards to get gifts and stuff they can't afford. I think the celebration should be more nature related as it is the winter solstice. It should be a good time to hang out with family and friends without expectations of lavish gifts.

"god rest you merry merchants, may you make the yuletide PAY!"

To the extent that it is not a celebration of Bahl, I am for it.

Extrude Christ and religious nonsense from the holiday and you have Yule (Jol) and the Winter Solstice celebrations. Christ-mas is a religious holiday built on top of these holidays.I hate all religious holidays.
