Atheismas

Hello, I am sincerely sorry that we haven't touch based in such a long time.
Well time flew by (not in a good way) and it is winter again and I just remembered my old blog post about Christmas and I wanted to add a few points as well as "delete" some since I am a human being and cuncta fluunt and I have changed, so have my views. I still won't deny my old thoughts, so I'm just keeping this up here.
What is Christmas and how do we identify it?
Prechristmas is (in the Western World atleast) - for example - sitting a living room decorated with snowflake, red-white/ Santa hat, mistletoe lights and an Advent calender, whose door is waiting to be opened,burning sweet cinamon, red apple wreath or Christmas cupcake candles, bags and sacks of packed presents under a fir tree that on which we not only find like on many other trees greenyness/leaves, but also all sorts of things hanging: bonbons, chocolate shaped in umbrella forms, man dressed in red and white and all sorts of balls.
Going to the grocery store to survive (eventually you will starve if you don't) and after buying all of the necessary food products, eyeing some Christmas sweets at the cash register and deciding to treat oneself with some chocolate to brighten up the daily grind.
....
This is getting too long and it is getting too dark, my point is: If you are Christian, that is alright, if you belong to another religion, it is alright too. If I am Atheist, you should accept it and nobody in the world has the right to prohibit some one or to tell them how to live life. Not in this life atleast. Christmas is secular, the only thing that Christmas and Jesus have in common is the crèche and the name. Of course it is the birth of Jesus and well it is a national holiday. Should all the Atheist go to work on this day and wait in the coldness in front of locked doors out of protest? I am pretty sure or better: I know there are hundred of "hypocritical" people out there who don't believe nor care about the religiosnes in Christmas and pretend. And I do not assume, because I know some and I live on and they can be my friends. There are minors in this big big world that nobody has prove to understand. It doesn't even matter what religion you are, Christmas is a time - where it is not only cold - but families get together (because they have all free time) and exchange presents and make eachother happy. (I would like to share my love every single day, but in just these days people get more openhearted and time is so even if it makes no sense limited. I'd like to spread my love all year round...)
If you want to truly celebrate Christmas than you should see that gingerbread and Jesus are two shoes. Eating gingerbread doesn't make me Christian as much as sitting in a garage makes me a car. This fest has grown out of its roots. The annual shopping boom is not fathomed by the love and praise for Him. Not of my consciousness. Christmas is tradition and for most people not for religion. You can seperate it if it is so important for you. But then consider not having a Christmas tree, turkey and whatever they do these days, that is why I chose this title
I'm not trying to insult anyone,
