Getting pangs of guilt for going on about preparing for Christmas, because actually I'm an atheist (or maybe agnostic, I just can't be sure) and I guess in many people's eyes that would make me a hypocrite or just somebody who rides the bandwagon of modern commercialism.
I look at it differently:
I believe that Christ was a man who did a whole lot of good during his life, and taught a lot of people some pretty good rules for good behaviour either while he was around or through his followers. Celebrating the life of a good man who died because he was a good man would probably be enough reason for celebration. More than this I think Christmas is a celebration of all that is good in us, and of all the things that should make us thankful for being humans, and most of all for celebrating and showing peace and goodwill to our fellow man.
Hey, its got to be good to do that once a year regardless of religious persuasion.
