I have a friend who recently told me she is not religious at all, yet she and her family celebrate Christian holidays. When I asked her how she could celebrate Christmas and Easter as if she were a Christian she got offended. Even though Christmas is during the same time as some pagan holidays, that is not what I am celebrating. I am celebrating the birth of Jesus. I know that many families without religious beliefs celebrate Christmas and Easter, but why bother? If you are celebrating a religious holiday, yet you are not religious, what is the point?
They are great holidays, but I think if I weren't a Christian I wouldn't celebrate them. I don't celebrate holidays that don't apply to me, such as Channukah, Kwanza, Ramadan, or the pagan holidays. I just am curious about what you are celebrating.
