10. Yuletide
I'm with you. I start getting all Xmassy around Hallowe'en. I break out the Christmas music around the first of December and the lights go up as soon as it's not too embarassing to plug them in. (And they stay up until about Easter.)

But Chrismas is not a specifically Christian holiday to begin with.

The Christmas season is the one time of year when Christians actually act the way Jesus of Nazareth would have been proud of.

There's a song by Dar Williams called The Christians and the Pagans, a Wicca-influenced song for the season.

All I want for Christmas is for Al Gore (or Howard Dean or Wesley Clark or Dennis Kucinich) to be President.
