Come on Atheists fess up.?

The holiday season was pagan first. The Church coopted it.

We are just atheists, not emotionless robots.

I think we can see more wonder in things because we are aware of so much more, and aware of how much we do not understand yet.

Our awe is based on the knowledge we have, and of the knowledge yet to come.

We have not just given up like believers have. When I look at something like a a super nova, I can imagine the huge forces at work, the incredible energies involved and that awes me. The concept that it being done by some creature from a dusty old Hebrew myth, is simply too stupid to contemplate.

True. There's nothing better than the look on a child's face when he/she gets the hot new toy that their mother got up at two in the morning, drove to the store to wait in line outside for an hour, got inside and raced angrily pushing others aside to get to the toy because it was 20% off, then raced through a crowded parking lot cursing others who keep walking in front of her car, all so her kid doesn't throw a hissy fit if he/she doesn't get the toy that was deemed the season's "must have". It is quite magical.

I see the Christmas season as a good chance to spend quality time with friends and family. Definitely a good thing.

You're asking atheists to be unbiased and even logical. Something that many of them have big problems with, as you can already see from some of the responses you've gotten.

Ummm most atheist celebrate Christmas just for this reason. It also brings family's together and is generally a loving time.

Sorry, but I see no christ in christmas, its just a winter party the pagans celebrated long before there were any christians to take it over and make it boring

Maybe, just maybe, some of us are capable of discerning something wondrous in the face of all children during all seasons, and without reference to Religionist mythos.

"this tiny bit of it is a good thing."

Hardly. Any piece of a delusion is delusional and unhealthy.

Only if the madman happy in his padded cell because he believes he is King is also a good thing.
