True, seeing as no one really knows when Jesus was born.
As a Pagan I celebrate Yule, my holiday starts on the 21st. Yule is the celebration of the winter solitce, the birth of the sun god, and everlasting life. Most of the christmas traditions we have today came from Yule so both holidays are almost the same. Yule is bascially the old christmas, and the meanings are about the same too.
Giving gifts are fun, but today everyone is losing touch with real gift giving. Commercialism is getting out of hand, so I am hand making all the gifts I give out, I think it means more when you do that.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
