Because I'm smart enough to realize that Christmas has nothing to do with a god or some guys birth. It's been celebrated long before the religions tried to hijack it. The Roman pagans "started" "christmas".
"Roman pagans first introduced the holiday of Saturnalia, a week long period of lawlessness celebrated between December 17-25. During this period, Roman courts were closed, and Roman law dictated that no one could be punished for damaging property or injuring people during the weeklong celebration. The festival began when Roman authorities chose “an enemy of the Roman people” to represent the “Lord of Misrule.” Each Roman community selected a victim whom they forced to indulge in food and other physical pleasures throughout the week. At the festival’s conclusion, December 25th, Roman authorities believed they were destroying the forces of darkness by brutally murdering this innocent man or woman."
I do, however, love the Christmas music.... but....It's all about imaginary people. Jesus and Santa.
