As an atheist, the reason I ‘celebrate’ Christmas is that’s when I am given time off from work to visit the family and friends I don’t normally get to see. For us, it is a ‘celebration’ of our connections to other people. Because the date of Christmas coincides with the traditional festival for Mithras – and many Christmas traditions are, in fact, based on pagan ritual, I like to share these facts with children so they can see how all people, no matter what background, enjoy the same type of celebration and sharing.
