    Sure, Christmas is my favorite pagan holiday, but I just celebrate the non‐religious parts. You know, gift‐giving and greeting cards, Santa Claus, getting together with the family and having a special meal, garlands and wreaths and twinkly lights, holly and mistletoe, stockings, tinsel, and jingle bells.

    All the good parts are non-Christian.

    Of course I celebrate Christmas! It's one of my favorite holidays. I don't depict it as a Christian holiday though. I celebrate because of the joy and happiness this holiday brings with it. Presents, family, Christmas cookies. What else could you ever ask for!

    Happy Holidays everyone!

    Yes.

    Because it's all about spreading joy, being a good person, and adding light to an otherwise bleak time of the year. Most of our traditions come from the Asatru, and has nothing to do with the birth of christ.

    Just because Christians call it Christmas does not stop it being the ancient mid winters fest.

    Yes, it has very little to do with christs birth so I call it Xmas. Christs birth is unknown... The tree isn't a Christian tradition its pagan like halloween. I get presents.
