Christians use the myth of Jesus the Savior, the Child-god, for indulging in lavish celebrations, feasting and partying, getting presents and enjoying all materialistic pleasures in the same way that Pagans used the God Jupiter or Saturn for their festivities.
Christians don't know that, like Atheists, every celebration is in practice a celebartion of human achievement. No one is ever thanked and celebrated for poverty and famine.

There is nothing wrong with celebrating the winter solstice. New Years is an attempt to do just that, but is off by a week due to poor Roman astronomy. It is the religious attribution that makes it silly.

Salam
There is nothing wrong with a celebration if there is something to celebrate. Hope that they are making a solution not another problem. You have been given a choice and so they can make it also. That is eternal and that is what is called Life. They have a right to do whatever they please in goodness and peace with patience. If its something to make them happy then let them do it. Who are we to question a celebration unless it makes error that creates terror and then we all have to clean it up again.

Certainly not!
Have a happy holiday! I hope you get lots of presents and enjoy yourself!

I can't blame anyone - it's a communal activity for and by the community - to keep togetherness and friendship alive.
Peace.

To a true Christian... the only blame an Athiest carries is that they are guilty of denying and not believing in God... the actions of their lifestyle is totally another matter.
The Bible clearly tells WHY non-believers can't see the truth because they are in their natural state lacking the Spirit of God to reveal it as we see here-
1 CORINTHIANS 2:14
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
NOW YOU KNOW!

What Atheist likes Pagan anything. The silliest religion out there no one takes them serous. That's why Atheist pays no attention to them.
