Like others - I'm not crazy about the alcohol fueled, commercialized, fling now known as Christmas.
I do find it interesting how they tried to steal Christmas - bringing it back to its pagan roots (as many of Christianity's celebrations find their roots in pagan celebrations - I believe Easter (Ostara) is another).
Personally - I am not religious...but "spiritual" and find more joy in something without the dogma. I love the Winter Solstice.
By the way - I am not pagan either.
