@evan it's everywhere, it's impossible to avoid observing no matter how you try

@evan No, we're atheists, but we like presents and shiny things so we decorate and get loot anyway!

@sennoma so, you don't think of that as observing the holiday?

@uep ha, ok, noted

@evan that dwarf holiday in the moralizing religion belt? I remember growing up they had TV shows about it. My observational probes have moved on, but it seems others retain an emotional attachment.

@evan Not much going on here in Tajikistan, since the general population doesn't celebrate it, but it sort of gets shoehorned into (communist) "New Year", so we've got Christmas trees, Santa, and decorations and everything. Russian Orthodox Christians will celebrate on January 7th. We don't do anything special at our house, but my parents and siblings celebrate it. Our plan this year is to all have Chinese food.

@ajroach42 hell yeah

@evan We went out to Midnight Mass last night; this morning we opened gifts; just finished watching the King's Christmas message; the feast comes later today. So, yes, in my household we observe #Christmas.
-
@evan yes but I try my best to stay out of its way ;-)
