I have a Christmas Tree and enjoy Christmas songs - even the religious ones. I enjoy celebrating Christmas and I will say Merry Christmas to people who believe in it. I'll support any holiday where people genuinely want to spread good cheer and fellowship or who donate money or their time to a charity or to the needy.
I watch Christmas movies like A Christmas Carol too. I'm an Atheist. I also like Star Trek and Doctor Who - They are fiction too and I love them.
In reality, though, I am not filled with a sort of wannabe hubris that some invisible entity holds me as "special" would take Carl Sagan's words. So I follow this.
I do not have the "delusion of a privileged position in the universe."
