Do you know one single Atheist who doesn't celebrate Christmas?

Asked by Aster (20023points) February 22nd, 2016

I think it’s being a hypocrite to celebrate Christmas if you’re an Atheist . To do so is to want presents, big turkey dinners, decorating your home and to avoid recriminations . It rings of cowardice to me. I would admire an Atheist who ignored the holiday. So last December I was getting my hair done and the stylist said, “I don’t celebrate. It’s just another day to me.” I was taken aback. I had never had one person admit to ignoring it. I was at first offended but I’ve now come to admire her honesty, both to herself and to her family. After all, “christ” are the first letters in Christmas for some reason. Has anyone else met one person who totally ignores Christmas due to Atheism?
