Excellent explanation of why many non-religious people still love Christmas, like myself (in a traditional sense). As the song says, its the most wonderful time of the year.
Raised: Methodist, which is basically Christianity for lazy people. Our weddings are rediculously short. The first time I went to a Catholic wedding I was both confused (Why is everyone getting up? Should I get up? They're eating a cracker. Do I get a cracker? I'm hungry too, you know. Wine? They get WINE? CATHOLICISM ROCKS!!!) and bored to tears because it lasted... um... three days I think.
By Choice: Monotheist. I believe there are many paths to one God.
