As an atheist why should I celebrate the birth of Christ? Is Christmas for Christians or some spiritual heist?

If I sent you Yuletide greetings, would you think me a fool? Because I don't believe in the Scandinavian god, Yule.

When I decorate my tree with tinsel, do you think it a folly Even though it was Wiccans that first decked the halls with holly

Santa will leave presents under our tree, can this be right? I don't believe in him, nor Odin or Thor who originally left gifts in the night

I don't believe in Mithras, Tammuz, Saturn, Adonis or BAAL, to me it's a myth. So I won't be celebrating the sun's rebirth this December the 25th

This celebration of sun gods, hijacked to spread the church of Rome Will still be a time for merriment and joy within the peace of my home

A holy day not taught in the bible, but a modern holiday Christ born in autumn, but why would truth ever stand in their way

Perhaps the question isn't if Christmas is for me But why does a Christian put a fairy on top of a tree?
