i buy presents as remembrance of the gifts given to Jesus by the Wise men, i am celebrating to birth of Christ, i just find it weird how atheists latch on to day for christians when they have the whole year to do whatever they do..it all comes down to not wanting to fee left out

Christmas is a national holiday. A long established tradition. I've grown up with it but it's never had a religious component for my family. This is how culture works. Christians often have a Christmas tree even though they don't believe in the pagan stuff.
-
from this conversation i have gathered that to you its a meaningless tradition (as you havent pointed out any concrete meaning other than consumerism) which you only do because you want to feel part of something and not feel left out
-
It's a nice tradition. It's about family and fun and food and drink and celebration. I haven't thought about feeling left out because I haven't considered not doing Christmas. We've always done it. Do you think I should not do it because it doesn't have a religious meaning to me?
-
Why do you object to people celebrating Christmas differently to you? Most people in the UK aren't religious. We still like Christmas. It makes us happy, brings families together, breaks up the winter. It doesn't hurt you.

Atheist here, who just sent my kids out the front door with dozens of cookies for neighbors that have “Merry Christmas” on them. Suck it.
