You do not have to be Christian to Celebrate Christmas - Pirate - 12-25-2014
Just because statistics show mostly only Christians celebrate it, it is not what Christmas is about.
From an Atheist's point of view, it is just for coming together when they can't really do it any other time.
It is about bonding with each other. Where the gifts and dinner comes from.
This is really why I don't believe Christmas is just about Christian's.

I can totally agree on this.
I have been an Atheist for about 2 years now, and I still celebrate christmas just because its not about Jesus and etc.
Its about coming together

Yes and I can see non Christian people in Auckland also celebrate the whole Christmas period with same feelings like we used to do every time.

same here. Being atheist and celebrating christmas does not interfere at all, however, we don´t celebrate it as extensively as the major fraction of our country´s catholic citizens

Getting together with family.
