I'm not a Wiccan and I'm not an Atheist, but I celebrate it. I want to hear what other people who also celebrate it do.

My kids and I help others in the are who are less fortunate than we are. We fund raise through the year and then pick a family who is in dire straights....usually unknown to most of the community because of pride, what-have-you. In the past we have raised enough to provide gifts, the tree and dinner with all the trimmings. It is our way of celebrating what is good in nature is good in man.
Blessings,

My Husband and I are Druids and we always celebrate with a ritual and burn a yule log. When weather permits we find an outdoor location to do so, but at times have had to do our ritual at home. We Say goodbye to our past and look forward to a bright and blessed future. Celebrate the Goddess and welcome the birth of the God. It is a day of joy for us and we have friends join us for food and fun before and after the ritual. My husband usually breaks out his homemade mead afterwards.
Bright Blessings

I'm not Wiccan, either (studying druidism), but I do a small ritual that involves thanking the deities for the gifts that are getting me through the cold season and welcoming the solar deities back.
There's a group in my state that meets to drum up the sun for Midwinter- they meet before dawn and hold a drumming circle to welcome the sun back.

I do not celebrate in anyway. I feel it may confuse my young children since they are being brought up lutheran like my husbands family. When they are older they will have the option to choose what religion they will follow.

It's only holiday for Viccans or atheists.
