Those are some of the most childish atheists I've ever seen. 

And then there's this prince:

For some atheists, the proximity to believers is even closer. Jim Wright, a retired merchandiser, lives with his 92-year-old mother in St. Paul. She "believes all that crap," he said.

"She wants me to come back to God, but I can't because he never existed," Wright said. This Christmas, he said, "I told her if she wants lights on the side of the house that she needs to do it. She's long since given up on the tree."

I'm an Atheist and that doesn't bother me in the least.  Same here, I have no problem with the religious christmas spirit, it really does no harm. It's not like it happens all time.

I like Christmas for the period it is.
I like getting presents on this basis, and giving none.
I don't like the boring Christmas meal. I'd actually like to start going somewhere with friends.

Plus the music and dancing is rockin too. 

Also, A Charlie Brown Christmas is on Hulu.

I started playing Magic: The Gathering again recently. So I'm back to collecting cards again. And I turn 20 at the end of the month.

I have no shame whatsoever.

I was more into Yu-Gi-Oh than anything else anyway.

I thought Power Rangers was pretty good until its third season.  

When I was a kid Ultraman was all the rage.  I loved that show.  I think that Johnny Socko was another show that I was really in to.  (I think that was what it was called but maybe that was just the robot's name).  I think that there was something with G-Force too.  It seems like that show was a precursor to either Transformers or the Power Rangers.  It seems like there was 4 or 5 kids wearing different colored costumes who would come together and become one big superhero with the attributes of the 4 or 5 kids.  I think that they would say G-Force or something and their powers would merge.  Forgive my hazy memory, but these were shows from like 35 years ago.

No, it got better for me with the next seasons (not the last two ones though), rather than the original show. I didn't invest in cards, it's awful to play that way. All I remember is some epic duel in a castle against some guy who's name I can't remember. And that the whole thing took almost half a season or something like that. My memory's a bit hazy on it.

Yes, they hardly ever ran out of cliffhangers.
