[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's see, non-Catholics celebrate St. Valentines day and St. Patrick's Day; non-Mexicans celebrate Cinco do Mayo (which isn't really a big day in Mexico) non-Veterans get Veterans Day off, and thanksgiving and Columbus Day are totally based on historical inaccuracies. So, I really don't give a fuck if non Christians celebrate Christmas. OP and the rest are just trying to feel superior and exclusive, like most on DCUM do on a daily basis. [/quote]

What do you think you're celebrating on Christmas, if it's not the birth of Christ?[/quote]

We are having a family party with presents. It's also a time to celebrate hope, generosity, kindness, and gratitude. We could do it in the summer, but we do it in December, because 1) it's traditional and 2) everybody seems to celebrate something around December 22 and we all time to travel.

I'm sorry that you think so little of the holiday that you can't share it with others and you can't see any value in it without Jesus.  Seriously, when you say that people shouldn't celebrate Christmas or its (universal!) values without acknowledging Jesus, I feel sorry for you. I think it means that YOU wouldn't celebrate Christmas or the values of Christmas except that your religion requires it of you.  It's mandatory, not voluntary.  I'm sorry that you feel that way.  The values of Christmas are worth celebrating, even if I don't literally believe in Baby Jesus in the Manger.
