Do you have any Christmas-equivalent in your life?
I guess most cultures do have at least some cozy family gathering event.
I am especially fond of the idea of the Chinese moon festival, love the idea of coming together, eating moon shaped pies and admiring the moon together! :-)
We’re all atheists, but I usually still visit my brother for Christmas. It’s a public holiday so still a rare opportunity to meet up during the year. We usually just laze around, eat, drink and smoke while consuming shitty media or otherwise indulging. We’re not actively making a mockery of it, it’s just what we do when we have nothing to do.
We even do token Christmas decorations. Like putting random christmas balls on house plants … or putting santa hats on things.
And regarding the “mockery” and atheists/christians/insert_believe_system_here:
Christmas has imo become mainly a secular event by now, and also somehow heavily mocks itself already, so whatever…
Many times. Since I don’t celebrate Christmas, I’m just cooking and watching LOTR movies.
^ This is exactly how you celebrate Christmas.
Not quite, but just exchange LOTR with “Die Hard” and you are there!
Home Alone!
Um, all of the above, please
por que no los all of them, on the same day.

I don’t. I’m an atheist and went no contact with my family ages ago. But sometimes I meet my partner’s family. They are very friendly.
So the pies are spheroid?
Typically circular, but there are some regional variations.
There is a whole Wikipedia article about mooncakes:

Sounds dope, and is probably what most are doing.

Nice! I do the same thing for Thanksgiving, while pet sitting for my parents
