you cant have a happy holidays if you're an atheist, asshole. "holidays" are in no way a religious tradition. Tell me for example, what is religious about new years eve?

besides, my decorated tree and gift giving on the 25th is by no means christian, we follow traditions passed down from pagans hundreds of years before the christian chruch monopolized the holiday

The problem is, you need to look into multiple resources when researching history. There is no definitive answer to when Christmas began. If you believe that "Christ"mas was celebrated before Christ, you have some serious problems with words. In multiple sources I've read that Christians began celebrating the holiday to keep themselves accountable to their religion and to remind themselves of their blessings. I know not the origins of whatever holiday you celebrate on December 25th, but the origins of Christmas obviously center around "Christ"
