There are so many holidays to choose from this day and age. So which will you be celebrating this winter?

The Winter Solstice.

Santa Day!

Santa Day!And you probably said that before I added the poll too :p

What is Agnostica? Does it involve sitting on a fence as some sort of ritual? ;) Does it even exist? (I'm thinking it doesn't)

Christmas.

Christmas. (no santa and reindeer stuff either)

Festivus, for the rest of us!

What is Agnostica? Does it involve sitting on a fence as some sort of ritual? ;) Does it even exist? (I'm thinking it doesn't)It's a secular holiday invented in a webcomic.
It start at december 14 (I think), and ends at an indeterminate later date. It's in celebration of science.
It has a great gift-giving tradition. In fact, last year, it involved an international gift exchange. Which I told was quite fun. (Although a lot of work for the organiser)

ROFL agnostica

And you probably said that before I added the poll too :p

Yup! :D

I'll be celebrating Christmas, including Santa, Rudolph, Frosty, and the entire Island of Misfit Toys. Oh, and heavy on the Jesus. Advent is my favorite season of the year.

I'll also celebrate New Year's Eve with my immediate family and my aunt and uncle and cousins we always have a party with. It should be a good time.

I'm an Agnostic, and I celebrate Christmas. The only people who bitch about Christmas are the ones who don't have enough faith in their lack of faith!

I also enjoy it when Santa comes to my house, and I get him too drunk to finish his route, making millions of children cry. I'm an asshole, I know! HO HO HO! :D

Festivus, for the rest of us!


As is so often the case- you beat me to it.


I'll be celebrating Christmas and New Years eve, as I have traditionally, with family and friends, for 38 yrs.

I'll be celebrating the fact that for the first time, I found an excuse not to be home at my mother's on Christmas Eve :D
Yay!

I will be celebrating the Dead Kennedys with my new electric guitar.

:D

I celebrate Christmas...when somebody is there to take me to church and get me cake and wine stuff...and I love listening to carols.:D

The birthday of Sir Isaac Newton!

I know, I know, according to the Gregorian calendar Newton was born in January, but since England was still using the Julian calendar then Dec 25 it is.

CHRISTMAS!!!! It's my favorite holiday. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside (or maybe that's just all the alcohol I drink around this time of year;) )

Chanukkah, as usual, and New Years Eve, as usual, and I'll have my aluminum pole.

My son's birthday and that holiday with the fat guy and a man on a stick. (Sorry, I just left the PC thread and had to cleanse myself.)

By celebrate you of course mean use as an excuse to get drunk?

By celebrate you of course mean use as an excuse to get drunk?If you're Irish, then certainly, how else celebrate :D

I will be celebrating Christmas because that is what my family celebrate's. I am an atheist though I like to get presents also.;)

each and every day after my 18th birthday(dec 14th same as Nostradamus):p

If you're Irish, then certainly, how else celebrate :D
If you're a Mexican you will be celebrating the Guadalupe-Reyes marathon. That is from the day of the Guadalupe (Dec 8) the day of the Wise Men (or Reyes, as they're known in Spanish, Jan 6). Every single day a celebration.

Christmas and my Birthday...

Christmas and my Birthday...

Jesus? Hooray! You came back!

Oh crap ... you're mad, aren't you ... look, dude, I can explain ... I know they weren't supposed to worship you, but there was so much money to be made!

What do you mean you never cared about money?!

Ok, dude, seriously. I though you preached that if people were poor they were to be ignored and stepped on and possibly exploited as workers for my great factory. Doesn't my great factory impress you?

What do you mean, "NO"?

Wait ... you're taking this other jack-ass poor idiot's gift of some fruit from some trees? Damnit, Jesus, I'm sick of your hypocrisy! The rich are all that matter in this world.

What do you mean, "the rich don't matter in the next world"? What about all my money and my fatted lambs that I offered you?

Wait ... where are you taking me? Oh crap ... I have to learn a life lesson?! Damnit, Jesus ... you used to be so marketable!

[This brief interlude has been brought to you by the letters F and R and by the numb 9]

I will be celebrating Capitolism Day. You know, that day were all the corporations gang up on their workers and give them the choice of returning all the money they've earned that year, or be social outcasts.

I will be celebrating Capitolism Day.

Hooray! You pig!

Oh, wait ... heheheh ... sorry ... ummm ... that is, we accept capitalism day and love it with all our hearts ...

Wait ...

Shit .... I don't know how to respond to this ... Letila, where are you?

Nominally Christmas, though none of us are Christian, so there'll be no church or Jesusy stuff. We use it as a good occaision for our family to get together, eat good food, drink good wine & enjoy eachothers' company. Also to play some hackey sack. Then on Boxing Day (the 26th & also a public holiday) we go to the MCG, sit in the sun, eat left over food from Christmas Day & celebrate the cricket.

I'll be celebrating the holidays: a ten-day break from one workplace; a four-week break from the other two; and three months until university starts again next year.

I love Christmas, but not for any religious reasons.

Agnostica and Santa Day? LOL
