Do they put up a tree, lights, give gifts Or stay home alone? I don't think they will be going to church

They turn themselves into hypocrites by celebrating the birthday of One they don't believe in.

Well, considering my holiday is on the 21st, before Christmas, I've already done some holiday celebrating.
And as many symbols, like wreaths, candles, lights and trees are pagan in origin, they are decorating my house.
Gifts? I am more a "spirit of the season" kind of person, where family and friends gathered around the table eating, talking, having a good time is more important and a greater gift than you can buy in the store.
So, what do I do on "Christmas"? Whatever it is I want to do. Watch TV, sit at my computer and read some newspapers, or talk to my Deities. Just because I don't celebrate YOUR day does not mean I am not celebrating a holiday.
It is not the gifts or the decoration. It is the "spirit of the season" - being with family, the warmth of the fire and good friends.

Tree, lights, gifts, huge dinner. But my personal family does those things on Yule. I have been to church on Christmas. I was once asked to tell a friends "church" (they met in his livingroom) where the modern traditions of Christmas come from.

People that put trees or celebrate christmas, only claim to be christians. Jesus was not born on december 25th and the bible does not support a christmas holiday let alone any other holiday that man has made.

we sit around or house with out pagan tree decorated to glorify nature and be thankful that the the shortest day of the year is here and soon winter will be over. We drink make merry and give tokens of our love to our friends and family. Just like our ansestors did for thousands of years b4 the catholic church came along and stole our holiday.

I know many nonchristians that celebrate christmas. Many reasons, the main one being christmas isnt very religious anymore. Santa, frosty, eight tiny raindeer, its all that stuff now. Also december 25th is a pagan holyday not the bithday of the christian G-d. It was moved to dec. 25th way back when to fight off the spread of paganism.

I attend a family get-together. This involves food, gifts for the young ones, and a chance to dress up.
