Christians snatched it from the pagans Thank you for acknowledging that, btw! If atheists had had more of a say in how Christmas was, I'd probably have a much easier time with it. Merry Atheistmas?
Also, right after Halloween? I should count myself so lucky! In a hardware store on October 30th this year I ran into a giant inflatable Santa, and I admit that it did not make my day. Then I decided, maybe I can just let them act like it's Christmas before Halloween, because they're doing that anyway, and in exchange for that I can just act like it's Halloween all year round. Which I guess I'm already doing anyway too, so it all works out.
