Well I'd certainly ask them if they celebrate Halloween as someone else mentioned above. I'd also ask if they ever celebrate the following day. That is supposed to be holy, no? You can also ask if they celebrate secular holidays, especially non-American ones like Cinco de Mayo. But, but, why? Reversing their logic is always fun, of course it's often hard since it's usually circular. This is just another example of “you atheists don’t believe in anything”.

Maybe some new sandals or a nice beard/mustache grooming kit. Something practical. “I’ll celebrate Jesus’ birthday (I believe it’s been determined to be sometime in April) as soon as Jesus sends me a signed invitation to his party.

It's the perfect occasion to buy something for myself that no one else will think to buy for me, like a book a really covet and need. And since not one single person alive knows my reading interests, I'm elected. My birthday comes right after the summer solstice, so I make a ritual of relaxing with a cool beverage and my birthday book, and I'm a happy man. I recommend it highly.
