I've before been asked if I celebrated Christmas and had people be shocked when I said I did. People seem to think that because I can call them on a fallacious appeal to tradition, that I actually commit to opposite fallacy myself :P. Although I'll admit I do not care so much about decorations, songs, and foods lol. It just seems like a (somewhat unfortunately over-consumerized)good idea to have a bit of time that emphasizes giving and unity. Those are things you definitely don't need a religion for.
