The beautiful "O Holy Night" by Libera Official
I lost my religion a decade ago but not my love of Christmas, my spirituality is infact intact .
You dear reader may ask what that means?
Answer, I don't know can't assume to know the unknowable and anything is possible.
Many religious people like to lump Agnostics (άγνωστος- unknown)
with Atheists.
Other then the vast differences between them that's a cope out a mere human desire to label and exclude people from the "good god fearing people"

I'm good to others including animals and the earth because it's the right thing to be do,
Not out of fear or reward.
Lets talk personal responsibility in the here and NOW.

So if you want label & box me use the quoted text below
almost describes how I am but ah yes with these exceptions;
The higher power does not exist in the same long robe bearded manner of which my inherited religion touts.. Nor do I believe in Heaven or hell as do all Christian denominations, nor is this power male

cold weather and snow, the holiday cooking & traditions did I mention music always
music this song and many others.
It's not about presents and shopping is it any wonder people get depressed, all that and rushing to be with family too like it or coal lump it.

Agnostic
Word History:
An agnostic does not deny the existence of God and heaven but holds that one cannot know for certain whether or not they exist. The term agnostic was fittingly coined by the 19th-century British scientist Thomas H. Huxley, who believed that only material phenomena were objects of exact knowledge. He made up the word from the prefix a-, meaning "without, not," as in amoral, and the noun Gnostic. Gnostic is related to the Greek word gnsis,"knowledge," which was used by early Christian writers to mean "higher, esoteric knowledge of spiritual things"; hence, Gnostic referred to those with such knowledge. In coining the term agnostic, Huxley was considering as "Gnostics" a group of his fellow intellectuals"ists," as he called themwho had eagerly embraced various doctrines or theories that explained the world to their satisfaction.
Because he was a "man without a rag of a label to cover himself with," Huxley coined the term agnostic for himself, its first published use being in 1870.
Redundancy spot; Greek - άγνωστο = unknown
