Yeah, Christmas is just like any other medieval hand-down holiday. Pagan to the core but adapted to fit a neopagan religious amalgamation. I personally appreciate attaching the birth of our Christ to it, as it reminds me of the era and the revelationary nature of our modern epoch.

'happy holidays' turns it into the depressing buy-up that tends to represent everything wrong with our consumption process. It's Merry Christmas or I just go snowboarding.
