      I seem to be being accused of having culturally appropriated Christmas because I celebrate it without being Christian. I haven't stolen it. You can still do the religious version you see as being more authentic. https://twitter.com/johnberkley9759/status/945028379652382721 …

      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.

          Except for the part where "Christmas" is a pagan holiday and Christians are the ones engaging in actual cultural appropriation

          Since when was xmas about religion? Think that stopped somewhere in the 1800's. All we got now is Consumer-mas.
