I don't have any probs saying "Merry Christmas"... on Christmas Day, Christmas Eve... Saying it for the entire month of December is not my thang. Saying it in October and November is right out.

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.

Christmas is an event that Americans have highjacked for commercialism. We highjacked it from the Christians, who highjacked it from the Pagans who hijacked it from someone else.
The naming of Christmas was something done by the Christians when converting the Pagans.

Happy Christmas,
Happy Xmas Happy Holidays Happy Whatever Makes You Happy this season. We ate too much turkey, and my fabulous sausage stuffing, and gorged on my Egg-nog which now contains lashings of Cream, Brandy and Creme De Cacao. Yumm Brandy Egg-nog Alexander. *hic*

I actually DO celebrate Jesus. But I find the Flying Spaghetti Monster ornament highly amusing.
