(3,261 posts)77. Atheist who likes some Christmas movies
If alone, I'd watch old Christmas movies, maybe some cheesy Hallmark ones. I've even been known to enjoy some religious ones - cinema is cinema and the themes are rarely strictly Christian (THOSE movies, I'd flatly avoid). No decorations, dinners, or the like and gifts sent to young relative via Amazon. If with family, I'd go through the motions with them, but mostly just look forward to being alone with some movies. With non-Christian friends, I might enjoy spending time learning about rituals related to other holidays at this time of year.
