You normally would, but I saw you badmouthing Terminator 2, so no cookie for you.

I didn't want your damned cookie anyway.

I enjoy Christmas despite being atheist.

I look at it as simply a time to have a bit of fun, relax and hang with the family.

i havent been "in the spirit" this year.

but i think its cos i havent had tv, radio, or much of a social life.

now that im home for the week, though, i've realised that its all about spending time with family and has nothing to do with presents.

family, and fairy lights!

Marry me....

EDIT:  Ooops, I mean... erm... wrong thread?

Quick question, some one told me Jesus was actually born in March, is that true?

It is very true.  Even all the Christians I know (myself included) and all the churches I've attended acknowledge that the time of the year was likely early Spring.  I forget the explanation of why we still celebrate it on the 25th December, but it is no secret among Christians that the date is technically wrong.

I love Christmas! We're atheists and do it solely for the family get together/celebration. I get to see relatives I ONLY see on that day, and we exchange gifts :3

You don't have to enjoy the religious aspect to enjoy the holiday. I mean, Santa and Rudolph have nothing to do with the religious aspect, but are primary figures for the holiday.

I can explain, but it's very long and boring.

They basically chose this date to coincide with a pagan celebration.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

Yeah, the only thing I could remember was that it did have Pagan influence.

I don't care one bit about its origins or later meanings, but I like days off, presents and good food, so I like it.
