(Insert holiday here) celebrations

[X_marks_the_ed]

I'm asking what do you do on Christmas? If not Christmas, what do you do to celebrate your holiday besides that of which is customary.

As for me, I celebrate Christmas (even though I don't know my own personal faith). Every year, I watch a different Christmas/holiday movie every day. If I run out of movies, I watch my recorded christmas specials on my DVR.

Yesterday, I watched Eight Crazy Nights. I love how it is funny and serious at the same time. My favorite part is the "Ode to Whitey" song. I have to say that voice actor that did Davey's childhood girlfriend has a great voice.

My school doesn't allow us to say Christmas. They made a huge example of a kid, and no-one has muttered it since.

However, as ironic as it is, I can still say Quanza and Chanukkah (sp?)

I hate that. What's it like 80% of america is christian? I think the others just wanted us to know what we already did, that they are here.

Disregarding the thick, gooey sarcasm, I never understood why anyone can be offended by "Merry Christmas" or the mentioning of a specific denomination. Considering the whole point of America is to be able to do what you want, barring the majority's rights to make the minority feel better is wrong.

Yeah, it's ridiculous how to some people, being told "Merry Christmas!" is as bad as if they said "**** you!" @_@

I'll be celebrating Christmas on Christmas Eve (I get my presents a day earlier than most other people, mwahahaha), and a ton of family members whom I rarely see will come over. My grandma, other grandma, grandpa, aunt, other aunt, uncle, cousin, maybe another cousin.

We'll each open a present Christmas Eve, I'll stay up all night, get everybody up at 4 a.m. to piss 'em off, open presents, mess around with the stuff, eat, and go to bed.
It's routine :/

I celebrate Christmas, but I'd love to celebrate Kwanzaa if I'm allowed to.

I'm kind of a traditionalist for Christmas. I open the presents at 7 on Christmas day, I go to church if it's open, and I go see my family if I can.

I remember one year, my aunt invited the family to Texas for Christmas and her wedding. There were over 100 presents and we got to open them at midnight. It was awesome.

About the not saying Christmas thing. I hate that too. I don't get how even mentioning Christianity offends people. You are only allowed to say Happy Holidays if you're on a work shift. There are even some groups here who want to ban the "Nativity" movie. I don't get it.

Did any one see that American Dad last night?

"Yeah, I know him, the Christmans rapist"
"Sorry, they've asked we call him the holiday rapist"

I'm celebrating XMas of course, shortly followed by Wintereenmas in January.

I celebrate the winter solstice: Yule.
But, since Yule was converted to Christmas, and now we get presents and all that good stuff, yay Christmas.

I celebrate Christmas. And everyone who gets offended by me saying 'Christmas' gets a solid kick in the balls. They need to grow up and stop being whiny losers.

[PyroAlchemist]

look at this simple figuring here:

me = atheist
me = celebrate christmas (presents only really)
me = don't care if you're a christian. Do what you will.
me = Gary

Nuff said =P

[Revolution911]

I celebrate Kwanzaa.

Not to sound offensive, but athiests celebrating Christmas is bullshite. If you wanna give gifts in the name of love and caring, go ahead, but don't say you do it to celebrate Christmas.
