I love all things Christmas !!! (except the Grinch)Sounds like idol worship to me. And I thought Jesus was the reason for the season!

How in less than 200 years, a purely fictional story becomes a foundational cornerstone of cultural life. Makes one ask how other myths might become a foundational cornerstone in our world, especially when let's say it has 10 times the years to work itself out?

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
I love Christmas. To me it's more Bout spending time with family and letting them all know u care. I do enjoy the season though.
I've always enjoyed having a day off with pay, and it's a nice time to hang out with family and exchange some gifts. We should do like we do with Thanksgiving though and make it a specific day of the week, like the last Friday in December so that it would always be a 3 day weekend. Sunday would work too cuz then we would get Monday off.

The intermingling of RTW Union threads and Christmas threads created an interesting observation in my mind.
As a devout atheist, your celebrating and enjoying the benefits and feeling of Christmas
is analogous to
RTW state non-Union members enjoying the same benefits and security as their co-workers who belong to the Union.
I think you may be a Christmas scab Ovah!

Via Adelaide Now:
AN IMAM at Australia’s biggest mosque has issued a fatwa against Christmas, warning followers it is a ”sin” to even wish people a Merry Christmas.
The ruling, which followed a similar lecture during Friday prayers at Lakemba Mosque, was posted on its Facebook site on Saturday, according to media reports.
It appears the post is no longer on the page.
The head imam at Lakemba, Sheikh Yahya Safi, told the congregation during prayers they should not have anything to do with Christmas.
The fatwa reportedly warns: ”Disbelievers are trying to draw Muslims away from the straight path.”
It says Christmas Day and associated celebrations are among the ”falsehoods” for a Muslim to avoid.
”Therefore a Muslim is neither allowed to celebrate the Christmas Day nor is he allowed to congratulate
