Im an athiest
Not ashamed, just who I am. Have not believed in god as long as I can remember.
Christmas is a very big deal to me, growing up shitty poor we didn't always have much. But, my mom did try to have traditions. Even small ones. Jammies to open on xmas eve, an orange in my stocking. Simple stuff
I try so damn hard to have traditions with my kids. Jammies on xmas eve :) toothbrush in the stockings. Fun crafts, cookies to bake, santa visits, tree lighting. I do everything in my power to make it special for them.
I don't think I have to believe in god to enjoy a holiday. I understand what it means to christians, I respect that it means that to them.
Why do I have to feel belittled an shit on because I do not celebrate the birth of jesus (which isn't even really on Dec 25)
Happy fucking merry love christmas
My kids I hope will remember that I do all this for them no matter the jesus aspect
