[Marsha] I got rid of Christmas years ago. The Winter Solstice is what I celebrate, and a return of the Sun's light.
[Krimel] As Arlo, points out, it is not a coincidence that Christmas falls near the Winter Solstice. Almost all peoples everywhere and at every time have a celebration at this time of year. Christians had no trouble adopting their mythology to the time of year but then neither has anyone else. I for one celebrate Christmas in a manner in keeping with the customs of my family and friends. As a rule I oppose any attempt to shut down a holiday and support every effort to create new ones. I am willing to find appropriate rituals and festivities to celebrate the birth of Adolph Hitler if it means a paid day off and an excuse to party.
