This is true. Why refuse gifts and not go to parties?

It's just habit. I mean for fucks sake who really celebrates Christmas as the birth of Christ? It's more of an excuse to get together and share a good night with family.

I haven't had a decent Christmas since my grandmother passed. Doesn't mean I hate my family; it just means that we're all just too busy trying to make ends meet.

I'm an atheist but I don't get why we have to slam Christianity all the time. There's much worse out there.

To be fair
- christmas in the us is barely religious
- It in general doesn't exclude "disbelievers"

But you got a point, it is a bit hypocritical

Everyone celebrates it. Regardless of whither or not they're actually christian. Its a big part of the culture in many white countries.

If only we believed in obvious falsehoods written about a 2000 year old carpenter our parents indoctrinated is to believe in, then we'd be smart

So you believe the evolution fairy tale, right?

In the north we celebrate Yule, not Christmas. Christianity tried to hijack the event but failed.

you're literally partaking in the winter solstice celebration. A pagan rite from the nordic, germanic and celtic peoples from long before abrahamic religion.
Jesus was born in like march.
