Reply to comment by kaustickelpie in Why “the Christmas feeling” is more profound than you think - some holiday themed philosophy by Melodic_Antelope6490
You made me realize I've been having dissonance with my atheism and love of Christmas iconography.

Oh? Yeah I've always found it strange... I love gospel music and have a strange fascination with finding nuns adorable lol not in a fetish way but more awww. Even though I know that most people's real life interactions with them haven't been pleasant. My husband was raised Catholic and everything about it fascinates me. I went to a funeral once (someone I didn't know) and just had to contain my excitement over seeing a catholic church. It's so fucking weird lol

Most Christmas iconography is older then Christianity.
Celebration of the dark ending is as old as agriculture.
As is kiling people on a cross.
