Like you, I'm an atheist who loves Christmas. In our home, my husband and I celebrate the more pagan facets of Yule (tree, holly, feasting, etc.) rather than the religious ones. Christian folks have often asked how I can celebrate Christmas without Christ and I simply say, "I believe in the message of Santa: Be good for goodness sake."
What beautiful pictures. I am also a non-religious Christmas fan, with a complicated history. Our daughter went to Grace Church School from kindergarten until the middle of seventh grade when we moved to California. The Church and the School (it is a church-affiliated school, not a religious school) makes me breathe easier. Happy holidays.

Love it. I call it my Pagan Xmas.
The repurposed Barbie angel! Amazing!
