Burble merrily on about all the immoral adventures you've had (or all the ones you've fantasized about, but as though you'd had them) and how much you love Jesus and how he told you to do these things.
Later on, admit that you were kidding about everything, including the "love Jesus" part.
why do you wnat to upset them? i'd jsut go along with it all ,except that any time anyone asks what you are doign say you are "helping" them celebrate christmas, not celebrating it yourself. and if they ask why, THEN tell them what you think
Oh, I don't actually want to upset them, and won't be doing any of these things. I just entertain the thoughts of doing so for shock value. I don't bring up my viewpoints or make a fuss about it, I simply quietly don't join in on the religious parts of the holiday.
Phew. I had some rough patches with my parents for a while, after I had realized the value of Full Disclosure Honesty, but before I had realized that there really *were* things they would be happier not knowing about my life.
turn up dressed in one of those long black velvet dresses, dye your hair black, wear black makeup and powder your face china white. When people ask you why you came dressed like that tell them you were at a coven meeting before hand.
1) Christ was probably born late spring, early summer. 2) Christmas is this time of year to compete with a pagan winter festival and most of the symbols used for christmas are pagan in origin (ie mistletoe) 3) Angels don't have wings, cheribum(sp) do. 4) Santa wears a red suit. Satan is commonly depicted in a red suit.
I would personally go through with the Bad Religion T-Shirt.
If someone asks you to say grace, quote the Monty Python prayer from The Meaning of Life, followed by a rousing singing of "Oh Lord, Please Don't Burn Us."

Explain that you'll be observing the Yule ritual skyclad.

But that's just me. I like to go over-the-top.
