My father acknowledged being an atheist the other day. I was pretty sure he was because he's never mentioned God ever but he's always said 'Church of England' when asked & on forms. But: My mum in relevant convo to cab driver: We're atheists. Cabbie: Are you? My dad: Yes.

I think this is the conservative/liberal difference between my parents. My father doesn't believe in God but likes Christianity. My mother doesn't believe in God & doesn't like Christianity either. She likes Christians tho, usually.

So tomorrow, we are doing Christmas for 2 ex-Christians, 4 never-anythings and an ex-Hindu. That will work fine.

We celebrated Christmas when I was growing up, even though we were Muslim. My parents did it so the kids wouldn’t feel left out. Isn’t that called assimilation? Seems damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

How dare atheists take a few days in the year that are national holidays to spend with their loved ones and give gifts to each other and over eat on roasts! Makes me wonder: Are pagans complaining we put up Christmas trees?

Cultural appropriation is just another bullshit phrase for some mediocre mind to try and tell you what you can do. It's just another form of censorship to force someone else's idea of a moral society. Fuck 'em. You can't force morality.

Whoever wrote this knows Jesus was Jewish, and other traditions are clearly of pagan origin?

They should have thought of that when they made it a public holiday...

You can celebrate the winter solstice, which is what Xmas has become really. That's authentic since it's something actually happens.

Heh. Given the fact that most ‘Christmas’ traditions (including the date) were appropriated from pagan Yule festivities, maybe you dmshould be allowed to do whatever you bloody well want.

I think Christmas is an amalgam of many different ancient traditions if I remember correctly.

Don't know where such people find you, but sometimes their lack of knowledge - in this case that Xmas itself was appropriated - is amusing. Merry Xmas!

It's not our fault our respective governments tell everyone to stay home from work on December 25, instead of just the Bible-thumpers.
