This is hilarious and mom probably wants an excuse to enjoy Christmas just like us atheists and agnostics do (decorating and gifts).

But those are the worst parts. I just want dinner and to see grandma while she still kicking.

Ok, I'll take your gifts thanks.

OK but you got to get my mom something nice.

No, it doesn't count as a gift. Even tho she screamed when she got it.

I can do that. I live near a World Market, which is like a Toys R' Us for old people.

I only celebrate the pagan celebrations like the Yule tree, Spring celebration of the goddess Eostre, etc. Fortunately that's where the roots of all the good stuff like Christmas trees (Yule log), Santa (Odin), and Easter bunny come from, so reall Christianity doesn't figure into the equation at all.

I like burning the yule goat. Me and the wife are little pyros, maybe that has something to do with it
