You got it right, but seemed to have missed it. I've been celebrating X-mas as a holiday for my whole life without buying into the religious bullshit. It is a time of getting together with friends and family, no more for me.
Of course, many groups celebrate something around that time, such as Kwanzaa, which sure as shit ain't got nothing to do with jesus, either.
I see all the religious hoopla and feel pity for all those poor brainwashed folks. Apparently it isn't even jesus's birthday at all, so it's the dumb ass christians who are the hypocrites. Just a made up day on a calendar.
Next you'll be trying to tell us the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock?
Mate, do you mean you missed out on Nativity plays at school?
You get to wear a tea-towel on your head and say things like, "Look. Yonder star over Bethlehem. The King is born..." in monotone whilst trying to see if your mum or dad are watching in the audience.
Best one I ever saw, the "sheep" got loose and wandered all over the stage baa-ing, and Mary held baby Jesus by locking yhr dolls head firmly in her armpit while staring open mouthed at the audience before crying.
I was Joseph, once. I was proud to have knocked up Mary, only to find out it was that bloody fella in the sky, God. I gave her a stern telling off, the cheat.
I'm sure you could have sailed on stage with your wife in one arm and a scimitar in the other, snatched the Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh and sailed off into the cardboard horizon - had the school been open minded :P
Why do atheists celebrate Christmas?

We did one every year.
