Do Atheist celebrate christmas ?

If a Atheist don't believe in God, do they celebrate Christmas (I'm sure they don't believe in Santa Claus either) and if so what is the meaning of Christmas 2 them? How do they celebrate Christmas ?

it's like any other holiday, but with presents. a time to get together with family and friends.


atheists celebrate christmas for the same reason that anyone else every celebrates it. and don't give me that jesus crap, because of all the non-atheists that celebrate christmas, what percentage of them have jesus on their mind Dec. 25?

I don’t believe.
I do celebrate, not the religious side of things just the friends and family part of it all.
As for Santa, Coke owns his jolly fat ass.

Christmas is a tradition that originates with paganism.

As such, it is not a Christian event.

Therefore, Athiests are more than welcome to celebrate it.
