An Atheist Christmas

This may shock some people, but atheists celebrate Christmas, too.

I've had the idea for this post in my head for quite some time, but PZ Myers and Richard Dawkins stole my thunder last week, and I put it off...

Damn you, Richard Dawkins, for phrasing exactly what I wanted to say in an even better way than I could have ever managed!

Oh, well, now I don't need this blog post...

Oh, one last thing: all atheists should do themselves a favour and familiarize themselves with the history and mythos of Christmas. Start with the Wikipedia entry on Christmas. And don't miss the Urban Legends Reference Pages on Christmas. Jesus' birth, my ass!
