Question About the Holidays
14 years ago
General
It's about a month until Christmas. I'm not particularly religious, but I love Christmas! It beats out Halloween and Thanksgiving for the gold in favourite holidays. It's got all the deliciousness of Thanksgiving paired with gift-giving. It's wonderful.
I wanted to do a little art thing this year for the holidays, so I'm curious: does anyone here not celebrate Christmas, but celebrate something else, like Hanukkah or something? Or is there anyone who just doesn't celebrate anything at all around this time of year? I just wanted to know what other people got going on this winter.

My own experience has been that even if people are not Christian, the vast majority celebrate Christmas, anyway. I send out a lot of Christmas cards every year to people who definitely don't ever set foot in a church. :)
When I was young I considered it a contest; by the end of the night either the stars or the Christmas lights would be chosen as a winner.
Recently I've participated in St. Stephen's day, which is the 26th of December and an Irish holiday. It's when you visit relatives you didn't see on Christmas, primarily.
