1. My youngest of 3 daughters (15) is an eclectic pagan and she loves Christmas.

I'm not going to tell her about that group because she already spends WAY too much time online. She was outside at midnight for the solstice. It is her life and she has to find her own path. We're cool with that.

2. Exactly, I love the 'story', the symbolism, the closet paganism that goes along with it...

So yeah, I still love Xmas, but not the Religious baggage that goes along with it.

nice-nice of the season.

4. I used to love xmas

then my family ruined it for me. Now I'm being blackmailed into spending time with people who I would rather not associate with in an environment where I'm an odd one out and not welcome.

It's the story of my life and why I have come to hate all holidays.

8. Best thing you can do...

...is flat-out refuse to be blackmailed. If they don't like it, that's their problem, not yours; after all, what power do they really have over you? You have no obligations to them. Just stay in your own space and enjoy it. That's what I'm doing. It only took me years and years to figure out that the holiday "gatherings" were never going to get any better. I've got a peaceful evening at home tonight with my dogs.

10. my opinion: don't hate all holidays because of that...

just stop hanging around w/the people who make you feel that way.

5. I've always enjoyed the christmas songs/carols

I was in the catholic church choir in grammer school (one of the better memories) ... and I love christmas decorations and lights outside and snowmen (oh, sorry, that's not christmassy)

I love bad nativity scenes too:

Hubby bought it for me on a trip to Mexico. I find it... interesting.

12. lucky for you, you dont need to.

Unlike religion, facebook really exists.

13. Like it or not, it's a fact religion really exists.

If it didn't, what would you find to talk about.

[cleanhippie]

14. Ahh, you're a literalist. So much makes since now...

[rug]

15. Well put.

9. I'm an atheist who loves Christmas. Specifically I love my wife and the way she does Christmas for

my boys.

Before the boys were born, I loved the way she did Christmas for me.

11. I never did understand why people think we wage a war on Christmas.

Since Christmas is so much more than a religious holiday (have you noticed the shopping sprees people go on), what is there not to like about it. Family, friends, good food, festivities, and how can you argue with a day off of work. How can you beat that!
