In reply to the discussion: Curious about Non Christians on DU [View all]madokie
(51,076 posts)27. my wife
is a realist and doesn't give much thought to religion although if asked she will say she believes there is a god. Our Christmas is filled with the traditional Christian Christmas. Presents for the kids and grand child. Her and I most generally buy gifts for our home rather than exchange gifts. I'm a non believer so when I want to give someone something I do it irregardless of the time of day or day of year. My Christmas is every day with no strings attached. When the urge hits me I do something for someone or give them something.
