Celebrating Winter Solstice and Newton's Birthday is good enough reason for us.

Because:
-I celebrated as a child, and like to continue those family rituals
-I think we all need something festive in the darkest part of the year
-I can believe in and celebrate the value of Jesus' life without believing in his divinity

OP, are you aware that the Christmas tree is NOT Christian? It is Pagan. Why do you celebrate Christmas with a Pagan tree?

We don't. Its movies and Chinese food for us!

I celebrate the winter solstice, it just happens to coincide with christmas...I give gifts at 3 kings to break up the gloom of winter
And actually, some christian denominations don't celebrate christmas in December, such as SDA's....

Because we get the day off too
I am non-denominational when comes to Federal holidays.

I enjoy the joyful and festive traditions of my family.

You're off in some of your assumptions. I'm an atheist, I celebrate Christmas, and I spend no time making fun of Christians, or people with any other religious beliefs. None of the atheists I know avoid calling Christmas Day Christmas. But I don't wish people "merry Christmas" this time of year unless I know they celebrate Christmas. I send holiday cards rather than Christmas cards because I have friends and family with varying belief systems, but I don't know of anyone who doesn't celebrate one of the several holidays this time of year. I celebrate Christmas because it is a cherished family tradition; the tree, the gifts, music, baking, parties, family gatherings. With all due respect, no one needs to justify to you what holidays they celebrate.

Santa is for the atheists.
Church is for the Christians.

And I assume the only way you celebrate is church and reflecting on Christ. How are the other parts purely Christian?

Also, I have never heard of anyone making fun of Christians or other religious people, and my friends are very secular. That may just be your insecurity.

It's fun. I like seeing family and giving gifts.

Cuz I love Santa!!!!!

nice try, troll

Sorry, but I am just wondering how you justify celebrating Christmas when you spend the rest of the year making fun of Christians and all of our rituals and beliefs. i know that many of you avoid saying Christmas and call it the holidays. But when you do all the same stuff we do (aside from attending Christmas church services), then you are celebrating Christmas.
