And a question of how do you spend the Holidays, what do you do?
As for me, My parents don't celebrate the holidays except for New Years. I will celebrate "Kurisumasu" in the Japanese way as a romantic holiday with friends. All the trimmings without the religious over tones. Gift giving, having vanilla icing cake with strawberries.. drinking eggnog, and hanging out with friends.

My wife and I are atheists, but there are many secular Christmas traditions to enjoy.
