Do you celebrate Christmas after realizing you don't believe in the reason for it?
I do because everyone else around me does. Although, for me, it's just a happy time of year that I get to spend with family. I still enjoy the lights and the songs and the "magic" that comes along with the season.
I'm just curious how others feel about it.
I don't really celebrate it. It's always a bad time of the year for me
I do not celebrate it. Nor do I even participate. I also don't ruin it for others. Everyone I know celebrates it. They just know better to ask me any questions about Christmas lol.
My inner Grinch tries hard to tell children there is no Santa but I control it for the sake of everyone's sensitivies and fanciful idealism ?
My family has always celebrated Christmas as a time to do something fun together. Only children exchange gifts. Adults just hang out, play music, sing caroles and enjoy each other's company.
I have no problems enjoying a holiday that was originally banned in puritan communities. It would be nice if it went back to how the celebration was historically. Mind you I'm in new orleans, much of the calender and culture is the way it is because of the catholic church's influence.
I celebrate it as a family thing. It really doesnβt have much to do with religion for the average person anyway if you really think about it. I enjoy the lights, food and family
