Why do so many Atheists exchange gifts on Christmas Day?

I am an atheist.

I don't celebrate Xmas.

I know, right?

"Because it's a pagan tradition." What?! It's called "Christmas" gift. I mean seriously. What's pagan about "Christmas" gift? It's about Christmas.

If it's a pagan thing, why don't they do it on a different day? Why for Christmas? Come on there are 364 other days they can exchange gifts on. It would be fun for us too. We'd have two different holidays to exchange gifts. lol

We exchange gifts because we like giving and receiving presents, same as everyone else who celebrates Christmas.

To us, there's really no spiritual aspect. We like the Christmas decorations, the Christmas songs, the Christmas movies, the exchanging of presents, and being able to reconcile with our relatives.

I honestly have in no way celebrated Christmas. yet there is not any longer some thing incorrect with celebrating it both. My mothers and fathers were atheists and we in no way celebrated any holidays. Now they are Christians and wanting to keep the no vacation in our relatives. rather we donate money, food and garments to the detrimental. We bypass by utilising what the traditional human being spends and donate that a lot to help human beings in united states of america. some thing else of the time my mom is a missionary in third international international locations

Actually, I don't receive Christmas gifts, I just give them.

(Well-deserved last name, by the way.)

I do as the Romans did. Waaaayyyyyyyy before Christianity.

ah the christmas spirit

Presents are always fun, and just because we don't believe in God, doesn't mean we can't get in the spirit of a holiday.

It's a nice expression of do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

As a way of telling people we love them. Why do you? Because your pastor told you to...
