    I get what you mean. Christmas was never about the religious aspect for me, but about family getting together, the holiday cheer, and exchanging gifts. Also, booze and huge meals.

    I’m an atheist, but I still celebrate Christmas.

      yes, it’s now these small things that make people happy that make it important.

      religious santa or the commercial santa just becomes a bonus side-effect.
