I was raised in a Christian household who didn't celebrate Christmas, but now as an atheist/agnostic/whatever, I celebrate Christmas.



Sounds like you married someone who celebrated Christmas.

I mean at this point. Does anyone really connect the birth of Jesus and the holiday season together?

It's bunch of pagan solstice ritual with Christ stamped over it. He was most likely born in spring.

We should have rolled with this from the start. Something about solstice ritual makes me believe it will be like the film Midsommar. Which I am very into.

But the joy that they show and the fun that they have is also for you... It's part of parenting.

noticed a new sign on the way to work yesterday, one of those blue signs saying someone is sponsoring roadside cleanup for the next two miles, it was the local atheist chapter, why do thy need an "organization?"

so, let me follow you logic here, You are triggered that people who don't agree with you celebrate a holiday you think your religion owns when in actuality it was stolen from religions that preceded yours.

Blissfully unaware people are fun.

Yep, the "Hail Satan?" documentary highlighted a good portion of this. As well as the trolling.
