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…

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.
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.
