For those who aren’t Christian, do you celebrate Christmas?

Question

Answer

I mean, it was originally a pagan holiday so I’m not sure Christianity matters.

Answer

Yes, Christmas on North Scandinavia was originally a winter solstice celebration. So we celebrate Yule, not Christmas.

Answer

I’m atheist, but my family and I celebrate Christmas because it’s about family for us, especially because my grandma was born on Christmas

Answer

I’ve had a tree basically every year of my life. My ethnicity is 1/2 Jewish but only my dad owns a menorah 🕎 for Hanukkah. I didn’t light it for a single night this year because I had covid and was isolated. We watch Christmas movies and open gifts on Christmas morning. I love caroling. My non jewish side is not necessarily christian

Answer

Yep 🤷‍♀️

Answer

We just use it as a day to spend time with family since we're all usually off. We don't celebrate its actual original purpose, though.

Answer

My moms side of the family grew up celebrating Xmas and when she got married my dad said that my sisters and I are not allowed to celebrate Xmas Bc it is a Christian holiday. My mom doesn’t agree with this because she says you don’t have to be a Christian to celebrate Xmas. Well my whole moms side of the family lives in the area, so Xmas is always rlly hard on my sisters and I Bc we feel super left out and we get depressed. So we usually go out of town to avoid them but obviously we can’t this year. So Xmas is kind of a sad time for us, but maybe when I’m older I will be able to celebrate.
