Atheist, Thanksgiving, Christmas

I have a number of atheist friends. They are opposed to the displays of the Ten Commandments in public buildings, manger displays in public spaces and the words "In God We Trust" on our coins.

Yet, when it comes to the celebration of Thanksgiving and Christmas, they are fixing big meals for the family, and on Black Friday they are standing in line to buy gifts for Christmas.

If they are truly atheist, shouldn't they ignore these days and treat them as any other day.
Or are they playing the odds. Do they think that by celebrating these Christian Holidays they might just have something positive to show St. Peter when they get to the Pearly Gates.
Someone is being hypocritical. What are they going to do on Easter??
