Do You Celebrate Christmas—Why (or Why Not)?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Xmas is my favorite time of the year. I have so many distinct childhood memories wrapped around this time of year and it evokes such an intense air of nostalgia and comfort for me. I don’t care about the religious piece despite being raised in a Catholic household. I just love all the traditions, the music, the snow, the decorations, the ambience. It’s so special. :jonny6:

Not until last year. I was raised in a christian cult so I never experienced celebrating Xmas or bdays but now I'm free. Xmas is so fun!

I don't simply 'cause I'm an atheist. I do like the overall christmas spirit tho with decorations, Mariah Carey and everything else.

I do not cause retail ruined the holiday for me. Everyone turns into a needy kvnt and the crowds in public places are ridiculous. Not to mention I don't need anything so getting gifts is pointless. 

 

I did all my husband to decorate last year for the first time in years so we'll probably do that again.

Yes I do - I grew up Muslim but we have some Christian family members so we always celebrated Christmas with them (and they celebrated Muslim holidays with us). It's such a fun holiday so I plan to continue.

I was raised Catholic, but celebrate a secular Christmas now. I love gift giving, decorating, visiting small towns that go all out for Xmas, etc.

I get together with my mom's side of the family on Christmas but I don't do it for the religious aspect. My family is religious but I just go to spend time with them.

I'm Jewish so no, but I'm also secular. I just think it's overrated

Yes and only because of the food :gayliyahcat1:

Yes for Orthodox Christmas. But I am not religious so for me it's just an excuse for having an extra day off and eating food

Yes, I love Christmas, but more as a consumer and someone who just loves the entire vibe of the season.

 

I'm not Christian so I don't celebrate the religious aspects of the holiday, but I love decorating my flat, going to the Christmas markets in the cities, going Christmas shopping, cooking (and eating :eli:) elaborate dishes and going to Christmas parties and of course listening to Christmas music almost all the time for basically all of November & December.

 

It's simply the best time of the year.

Yup, my family is Roman Catholic and I was raised as such. As other people have mentioned, I really just enjoy the vibe of the season/holiday more than anything else to do with it.

I don’t really know how to celebrate anything really. I struggle to be festive, though I do appreciate the general holiday cheer.

I was raised Muslim but I go to church for Christmas only because my Christian friends invite me and I like the festivity. In reality, I'm agnostic atheist who culturally appropriate religion's rituals and festivals. I'm every religion and not. :skull:

Yes. I was raised on Christmas in the UK & it's just gotten bigger & bigger over the years. We tend to catch on a bit later than the US (Halloween seems to be getting bigger in the UK now too).

 

I love buying gifts for people. I know it's not about the money and the UK is going through a major cost of living crisis at the moment, but I've been buying little gifts over the last couple of months so I have something to give to people.

 

I also went to Church on Christmas Day last year & I plan on doing it again.

I was raised Christian but lately I've been in touch with my dad's side of the family roots (Jewish) so now I'm like, just loving the vibes (the presents) as a lot of you have expressed. :heart2:
