Some friends of mine from a predominately Muslim country celebrate Christmas here with a tree and give out presents like many people in the USA do. They are Atheist but are very aware of their parents and grand parents Muslim history.
I'm of a Christian upbringing but consider myself to be Agnostic. I celebrate Christmas, but as an American secular holiday. I have an Athiest uncle. Same deal..Celebrates Christmas. Some Jewish relatives..same thing!
How common is this?.. Chime in, even if you are outside of the US.
I don't celebrate Christmas then again I don't celebrate any Holidays. I do send Christmas cards to friends and family who do celebrate. I also send money to the kids. Other than that it's a good time of year to get good specials on Prime Rib, Ham, and Turkey
Yup count me in too! I always saw it as another holiday to get together with the family...yes I actually get along with my family so I love to see them
I was raised with no religion and have always celebrated Christmas, Easter, etc, as secular holidays. I am continuing my family tradition.
I can see how Christmas can be celebrated as a secular holiday, but unless you have little kids and can do the whole Easter bunny thing, how do you go about celebrating Easter?
About 14 years ago, my husband and I sponsored an immigrant family who had just been relocated in Salt Lake City after having lived in a refugee camp in Bosnia for over a year. They were Muslim, but we kind of wanted to give them a nice first Christmas in the United States. We didn't want to offend them, though, so we cautiously asked them if the would be opposed to our helping them participate in a Christmas celebration. They were thrilled by the suggestion and have made it a part of their lives since then.
