Christmas! Gifts! Parties! Etc!
Dimmukane:
I watch The Snowman. More about snow than Christmas, but Santa Claus makes an appearance.

I'm an atheist and I celebrate Christmas. I just do it for the whole 'free stuff' part.

Since it doesn't look like we'll have a Thanksgiving thread, I'll make due with this one:

--- Quote from: allison on 26 Nov 2008, 19:56 ---So does anyone have a little-known favourite Christmas book/movie? Mine is the Polar Express. The book, I mean. The movie, though it shares the same name has (in my opinion) absolutely nothing to do with the book.

It is not really unknown but I love the Rudolph movie, hence the fabulous Rudolph gift wrap that I bought.
Jimmy the Squid:
I'll be going to my Aunty's place next weekend because while we usually celebrate Christmas on the 24th, like all good Europeans, my folks are going to England for Christmas this year so that my step-mum can see her mother over the holidays as her mum is pretty old and has lupus and shit. So we're moving Christmas forward a bit so we can all see each other. For actual Christmas I guess I'll be going to my mums place? I'm not particularly happy about this as I don't like seeing her but still, I suppose I should go anyway. I'm going to have to work Christmas Day but hopefully I can wrangle a 6am - 11am shift so it won't be too bad.
Also even though I am an atheist I still celebrate Christmas, but really only because my family do. Even so there is very little overt religious imagery in my family's celebrations, we get together and eat lots of food and give each other presents? The ornaments are all reindeers and Santa Claus, we sing two Christmas Carols, both in Hungarian and I don't understand the words (though one of them has "Bethlehem" in it so I assume that is religious). Anyway my point is that Christmas is completely separated from religion in my mind to the point where I always get confused by all the religious stuff on tv (cartoons of the birth of Jesus etc...) on Christmas before I remember.
I assume that if I ever stop seeing my family on Christmas (probably after my grandma dies) I will probably stop really celebrating Christmas.
