      The main symbol of Christmas is a colourfully decorated spruce tree. I can't think of any ritual more pagan than that.

      What about covering a christmas pudding in alcahol and setting it on fire, then putting out the fire and then eating it?

      Christmas is a day to celebrate capitalism and the creed of excessive commercialism and consumerism.

      I'm not a christian any more, but I celebrate Christmas because if I didn't my family would probably think theres something wrong with me. I don't really get too into it, but I still give presants and whatnot.

      I would hope that atheists celebrate Festivus. It is a holiday for the rest of us after all.
      157 is a prime number. The next prime is 163 and the previous prime is 151, which with 157 form a sexy prime triplet. Taking the arithmetic mean of those primes yields 157, thus it is a balanced prime.

      Yea! Plum pudding!

      Don't forget the charms that are supposed to represent getting married and stuff

      Nothing wrong with just having some good fun...celebrate minus the nativity scenes and prayers and whatever
