[quote=Anonymous][quote]I did. I'm just a normal Methodist, not even evangelical or anything. 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).

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.

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

I find it easier to adopt a "dual view" of Christmas. A secular Christmas has more religious rituals (my kind of Christmas). A non-secular Christmas does not celebrate the religious traditions and beliefs and is more cultural/commercial.   [/quote]
 
 
I'm not at all religious and I celebrate Xmas in all of its secular glory -- a decorated tree, lots of presents, and family togetherness.  Santa is about a secular as they come.  To the normal Methodist requesting that only Jesus believers participate, and turn in your direction and send a loud raspberry  :P :P :P  [/quote]
