If you do, why? If you don't, why not?

[Livia]

Yes. It's not my faith, but I still do all the Christmas stuff not including going to church. And I suppose I have that in common with 90% of people who would consider themselves Christians.

Most people don't go to church on Christmas where I live either. Do you cook turkey?

Yes, we have turkey... everything except the little sausages in bacon, in fact. Crackers, presents, a tree... it's a lovely time of year.

In return I would encourage everyone to celebrate Hanukkah too! Eight nights of presents... what's not to love?

I have never known those sausages to be a tradition until I spent Christmas in London in 2012.

I would love to celebrate Hanukkah, it's getting other people to celebrate it too that is the hard bit.

Really? I'm surprised, I thought it was more wide-spread than England. Wonder if Scotland have them? But I don't eat pork as you know.

You need to push the "eight nights of presents" and steer clear of the religious connections!

[andybigbro]

Yes, because I just always have and grew up with it.

[JoshBB]

Yeah. I'm not a christian but I love christmas!

[MTVN]

Yes simply because I live in a country which celebrates it

There is a religious element to it for some of my family as well and so I might sometimes go to Church on Christmas morning

[GypsyGoth]

Christmas is about family, I don't see it as a religious event.

I think we might have had our Christmas present yesterday... what a result, eh?

This for me too, i do enjoy Christmas but for me it's lost meaning, it has become more apparent that it's a commercialised money making holiday, because i'm not a religious person i'm trying to find out what Christmas means to me......some may say family, but my family is my kids and husband, there is no proper extended family in my case, and whilst i do enjoy watching my kids open their presents i always wonder what it's really all about, i really would be happy to celebrate Christmas every other year. Some people may say it's a time to spend time with friends and family, but don't we do that anyway? And then there's the gluttony that goes with it......

Yes, there are very few airholes

[smudgie]

Yes, lovely time of the year.
Decorating the house, the lights on the trees.
Organising the food, all good.
I love the quiet times as well, watching the carols or a Christmas service, even though I am not religious, all tradition really.

The best part is having our family all together, it seems to be getting smaller every year

Time those kids of mine started breeding.

[joeysteele]

yes, not for presents or that side of things but out of tradition and also my background as to how I was brought up.

I love the atmosphere,lights and decorations.
However the thing I love to see,(although I accept there are people for who this is nowhere like the case),is the togetherness that comes with Christmas and for me being around my family and friends too over the Christmas period means the world to me.

[Crimson Dynamo]

I celebrate Christmas because I think its what baby jesus would have wanted

And all the snow an stuff reminds me of what Bethlehem would have been like back in the day

Had it been relocated to the same latitude as say Oslo

[Black Dagger]

Yeah.

Haven't enjoyed it the past couple tho.

[Marcus.]
