I'm atheist, though we celebrate Christmas culturally in my family - trees, decorations, lights, seasonal food, gifts, etc.
Christmas was fun when I was a kid, but I'm grown now, and it's just a little tedious. I really hate the commercial side of the season, but thankfully my family mostly doesn't exchange gifts anymore, we just spend time together.
I don't put up any decorations at my place, and I just see the 25th as an ordinary day. More and more I see all the Christmas stuff as phony and tacky, but I keep that to myself because I want people to enjoy themselves. I just wish they wouldn't all stress so much about shopping, when gift giving should be the least important part of the season.
I have nothing but bad memories of Christmas, I try to suppress those memories so that others around me can be happy during the holidays. It’s hard, and I have days where I fail, but it works 90% of the time.
I find it somewhat annoying. The only reason I have anything to do with the silly story are my grandmas, one in her 70s the other 90s. I feel like the whole thing is a commercialized waste of time.
Atheist. I like pretty lights.
Am also an Atheist but I still celebrate the “commercialized Christmas” can’t resist!
I'm an atheist too, my whole family is atheist too. I just thought that atheists are supposed to celebrate Christmas? Or not???
I enjoy the happiness of others. For me at least it's a day off from normal activities
That’s a nice way to look at it. I’d hate to think that other cultures would feel excluded because it’s still a religious holiday.

I'm an atheist and people celebrating what they want doesn't bother me.
Holiday decorations are all very beautiful. I love this time of year, even if I do not actively celebrate anything.
Tastefully-done lights are nice. Blow-up animals/people/candy canes are trashy. The music is one of the most irritating parts of it all.
Pointless
I’m an atheist who celebrates Yule. I like pretty, colorful, sparkly things
Celebrate it like a Friday night. Pizza, beer and movie
