LOL I’m an atheist and I celebrate Christmas ~~suck on that!~~

i just want presents

If religious people actually believe that Christmas still belongs to them, they’ve got to be the most delusional fuckheads on earth. Christmas is presents now. Christmas is Santa Claus now. And, at its heart, it’s about being with family and making people feel good and giving. Not to say that religious people aren’t allowed to enjoy those Christian traditions like going to church or putting up a nativity scene, but don’t hate those who don’t.

Because Christmas is for everyone, goddamnit!

thank you ^

Christmas as we know it isn’t even Christian. It was never their major holiday. It was Easter, and that still holds the most meaning. Christmas was the winter solstice long before it was Christian. It’s an ancient tradition. There’s Stonehenge, there’s Newgrange and countless others that were used as places of celebration for it. Christianity itself is an amalgamation of traditions, it absorbed other people’s folk songs and traditions in order to obtain a bigger following.

Christmas is essentially a human holiday celebrating rebirth. Get over yourselves.

Yep.

My entire family is nonreligious and we celebrate Christmas for the presents.

Just sayin. ;)

(P.S. Easter was actually a day to celebrate Eostre/Estre/Eastre, a Pagan (probably Saxon) goddess of fertility, which is why we hunt ‘Easter eggs’ and have an ‘Easter bunny’. Eggs symbolize a woman’s fertility and bunnies… fuck like bunnies. So, if you celebrate Easter in that fashion, you’re a Christian celebrating a Pagan holiday!)
