What are 100% Atheists like during December?

Basically just wondering how are atheists like during “Christmas/Holiday Season” time of year? Say if I have an atheist friend and would like to buy him for example a gold watch or a gold ring of some sort? Would they still be open to the idea of gift giving and accepting a present as a Christmas gesture? Or would they explain that they don’t believe in God or Christianity and say they will not accept or take the gift maybe?

 

Some would and some wouldn't. Some stick to their guns and refuse to observe Christmas, others just call it the holiday season and exchange gifts like everyone else. To them Christmas is a time of Christmas trees, gifts and Santa Claus.

 

The idea of a christian holiday has been usurped by capitalism. Having said that, I am an atheist and will gladly accept a gift from you. Minimum value of $5,000, please.

 

I'll just take the cash, small bills please.

 

I am not Christian, but if someone wishes me a merry Christmas, I'm very grateful for the sentiment and the generosity of spirit that led them to consider my well-being, and I graciously respond in kind with all sincerity, because I'm not an asshole.

 

It depends on the atheist. I'm a Christian but I take fellowship with a freethinkers group of atheists and agnostics. I brought a Catholic friend along once. He was leary at first, but was reassured when one of the atheists started talking about getting his Christmas cards out.

 

Though I'm an agnostic, personally I don't have a problem saying Merry Christmas to anyone. That's the name of the holiday. I still like the Christmas season with all the cheer, well wishing and exchange of gifts. As the song goes, it's the most wonderful time of the year.

 

I agree.
