#it feels so weird. U atheist-ed too close to the sun and now ur kids don't believe in christmas as a special time

My parents r atheists with christian parents which means that me and my sibling r atheists with atheist parents. One side effect of this is that christmas is a Big Deal to my parents but I'm atheist enough that christmas has basically no meaning to me outside of "the time of year I get free stuff"

#sep talks #like it's nice to get presents and see family or whatever but there's nothing fundamentally special abt christmas day #as opposed to every other day #we could do christmas early or late and I probably wouldn't notice #idk. It just came up the other day when I was talking to my parents #bc my aunt is hosting and she doesn't have much room so I said oh well I could stay home #and my parents were like oh but it feels wrong for u to be all alone on christmas #and it's like well. To u maybe. To me it is just another day #it feels so weird. U atheist-ed too close to the sun and now ur kids don't believe in christmas as a special time #I have the same kind of feelings abt halloween like it's whatever. Doesn't rlly mean anything to me #but it feels weirder abt christmas. Bc I WAS brought up celebrating it. But its like none of it stuck ahdunfidndj
