I guess for us it's a mix of solstice and family. I really like the darkness/going within symbolism of solstice, but we're an atheist family (with spiritual atheist leanings), so we don't celebrate the same way pagans might. I think for us Christmas is what it is for most people, Christian or otherwise...A time to be with loved ones, give what enriches their lives, and celebrate the goodness of life. I just don't see what it has to do with Jesus.
