Does it make you guys feel better belittling a reverend and putting down people that believe in God?

It goes both ways. You could argue that people open about Christmas don't consider non-Christians' beliefs.
So that makes it ok then?
Christ's birth wasn't at this time of year anyways, So don't beat your self up about people not focusing on the story of Christ's birth. The Christian church used it to convert roman pagans that celebrated Saturnalia (a festival of debauchery) to Christianity by allowing them to continue to have their festival as christ's birth.
many of the solstice festivities had nothing to do with "doing the right thing". some included human sacrifice and rape.

The worst Christmas gift is tied for me.
1) As a child watching my father get drunk of Christmas Day and beat up my brother (tossing him across the room and almost smashing the tree).
2) As an adult the many years of getting absolutely nothing. My parents were ones to play favourites, my brother and his kids would get $2K spent on them, my sister, her kids would get $100 and me nothing. I have had more Christmas mornings with nothing to open than I have had to open things. My partner of 5 years doesn't like the concept of giving gifts to adults, so the tradition continues.
And people wonder why I f**king hate the season.
religion is the root of all wars, and is mental brain washing, lets get back to crappy gifts.
Great suggestion:
Crappy gift: I appreciate it don't get me wrong but for as long as I remember my grandma (Oma in German) always gets me these German chocolate brandy candies. I don't even like them usually give them to my father. But on a side note maybe she is the smartest Oma ever giving a kid chocolate alcohol to make it through the family get together? Maybe I should eat them this year!
