Lalania -

Try planning a wedding with one half devout Catholics and the other fire and brimstone Pentecostals while you and your partner are both atheists/agnostics!!! That makes Christmas look like a day in the park.

I honor Christmas because I love the idea behind it. I like that we gather to think about others and to show the people close to us that we love them. I guess I don't regard it as too much of an issue as Christmas was a Pagan holiday that the Church made into a Christian one to make the conversion process easier.

I don't think you need to believe in God to be a good moral person who wants to celebrate once a year with their loved ones.
