I spent at two parties for a festival I don't really understand. Still, it's good to celebrate with friends, and they were goodly parties.

So, *hugs* to them as want, and thankyou to elise and ceb

Have good things, all, and happy Christmas.

Traditions don't have to be traditions because of something, it can be sufficient merely that they are traditions.

Ooooh, yes. I think I very much work like that. Christmas means a lot to me, despite not believing in either the Christian version or the overly Commercial version either, simply because it has gained its own traditions for me.

I'm intensely uncomfortable with any idea of Christmas which does not include Christianity. This is probably the reason I feel slightly guilty for going to New Year's parties, even though I don't believe in New Year. I can see that that's not really sensible, because new year is a secular festival, but... I'm not always terribly logical.

The Christian Christmas is merely a hijacked pagan festival anyway ... so you can always celebrate the original festival if you wish instead of the Christian or commercial variants we have today. It is also a nice time anyway, regardless of underlying meaning - as you said.
