Most Atheists celebrate Christmas in a fashion – namely, they celebrate the coming together of extended families during the holiday season, without celebrating the pretext that brings them together. Recently, I started sending Thanksgiving cards for the holidays rather than Christmas cards. I like the fact that I can express thanks and appreciation for the important people in my life without availing myself to a deity in whom I do not believe.

As far as what atheists tell their children about the meaning of Christmas, that’s about the same thing we would tell our children about the meaning of any religious holiday of any faith. I would tell my children that it is a celebration of the day on which Christians believe their Messiah was born.
