Do you enjoy the holiday season?

How so? I don't celebrate x-mas at all, but my family gets together, free food, free ****, watching NBA with my cousin's, why would I turn that down.
I think Easter is dumb as **** but I still enjoy a free brunch.
This is funny. Do you disclose your atheism to your family or just accept the "free ****" under the false guise that you are a believer?
Plenty to love or hate about both.
Extra time off. Great food. Football. Seeing a kid light up over a gift. Nothing wrong with any of that.
Travel, cold weather and dragging all the decorations out and putting them up, getting disappointing gifts that can't be returned. All of that sucks.

I too, would like to know the answer to this question. Please enlighten us.
Them knowing you are an Atheist and inviting you to partake is hilarious, as they are ignorant of your religious non-beliefs and you are fine with it.
Them not knowing and you just freeloading is also hilarious, because that makes you a hypocrite. "I don't believe in God, but man, I love all the things associated with celebrating his miracle baby's birthday!".
After growing up, Thanksgiving took over Christmas as my favorite holiday.
As a kid, Christmas meant a two and a half week break from school, good food and homemade candy you only got at Christmas, and the feeling of getting the one gift that made you light up like Ralphie getting his BB gun.
Now, Christmas is a pain in the *** making sure everyone in the family has at least one gift from you, getting the decorations up, having to deal with that one relative that is your version of Cousin Eddie that you wish you could tell them to GGF but you can't, and the biggest pain in the ***, dealing with the hassle of Christmas shopping. All of that stuff can DIAF.
Thanksgiving though, same routine every year. All the family that lives close by has dinner at my Aunt's house. Uncle, myself, and his son go out to the garage before dinner and have a couple beers while watching football. After dinner, a few games of Rook. Can't hate on Thanksgiving at all.
