I don't understand the mentality of "I'm an atheist therefore I can't participate in Christmas. So much that I felt dirty eating a Christmas dinner and listening to 'Christmas' music" (As if "winter wonderland" and "jingle bells" are religous songs) I would think that an atheist would love the commercialization of Christmas, or the fact that most of the traditions are non-Christian. But even all that, even if you don't believe in God, doesn't mean you can't enjoy being with your fellow humans and enjoy a season of giving. It seems to me that is being a non American and refusing to watch fireworks on the Fourth of July... They are still fireworks, and they are still cool to watch. I can understand if you were a non Christian religious person that doesn't believe in Christmas. But as an atheist, why should you care. Enjoy the holiday as a day off work, with some cool lights and seasonal music.
