Look, now, I've already asked that my threads not be derailed. Let's just stick the the question, shall we?

Blaming it on caffeine overdose and sleep deprivation? Sheesh, that's really lame!
I'm sorry, I really expected much more of you! And there I was thinking that skeptics were a generally more intellectual breed. Alas... forsooth... indeedy!

I think the answer to this question will differ for every sect of atheism. Personally, I happen to be an orthodox fundamentalist atheist. I am planning on recruiting suicide bombers to teach those heretic agnostics a lesson they won't forget.

I can't see how it can be, perhaps it means something to them such as cherished childhood memories and the peaceful spirit of xmas but it won't have any real deeper meaning for them because they believe christianity and all religions besides are myths.
