[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did. I'm just a normal Methodist, not even evangelical or anything.[b] But I find it very odd and confusing. And a little bewildered when people insist it's a "cultural" holiday (but then turn around and insist this is not a Christian nation).[/b]

But whatever. If you ask them what they're celebrating, they'll say "the joys of family" or whatever. Why they can't just have themselves a family reunion in the summer or take Thanksgiving as an opportunity to do these things, I don't know.

[b]The partaking of all the rituals and symbolism of Christmas while insisting you're not "Christian" is really strange to me.[/b][/quote]

I find it easier to adopt a "dual view" of Christmas.  A [b]secular[/b] Christmas has more religious rituals (my kind of Christmas).  A[b] non-secular[/b] Christmas does not celebrate the religious traditions and beliefs and is more cultural/commercial.  :)   [/quote]

Ooops.  I reversed my "seculars."  Meant to say that I prefer a non-secular Christmas, vice versa.  [/quote]
