Does it offend Atheists if they get Christmas Cards? [Spirituality & Religion]
Even if there is no mention of Jesus on them but just some snow maybe?

Christmas isn't even a religious holiday. It was celebrated by pagans long before Jesus was even born. The winter solstice holiday just got co-opted by Christianity to make it about Christ, but there's nothing about Christmas in the Bible nor is there really anything Christian about trees, lights, and wrapped presents.

@TinyViolins True. The Germans believed that their gods walked on the Earth for 12 days after the winter solstice, and that too was co-opted. Do christians ever wonder about the ‘12 days of Christmas’
