"Christmas is only ‘Christian’ because ancient winter pagan celebrations were incorporated by the Church."
Yes, that's what I always say. Though personally I loathe xmas only a little bit less than I loathe the faux jollity of new year. Purely for emotive reasons. It's a time of year loved ones die, and I feel much more interested in reflection than ostentation.
Like Jesus, though, I love my mince pies.
