1. Not religiously so to speak. It's a good time to exchange presents and visit.

3. sunet = "death", sun rise = "resurrection". I celebrate that plus solstice events which are

also death/resurrection events.

4. As answered in the poll thread...

I celebrate the Winter Solstice, but acknowledge Christmas appropriately for those to whom it is important, including most of my family and many of my friends.

Speaking of which... the northern orbital nadir has been passed (at 09:47 Pacific) and the "return" of the Sun to our hemisphere has begun.

Happy Solstice, everyone -- let the Sun shine in!

5. I celebrate Christmas as a belated solstice festival, rejoicing that longer days have

returned. Happy to call it Christmas as long as Christians continue to call their resurrection celebration Easter.

6. It's the festival of lights to me, the Winter Solstice.

7. Absolutely. I'm Catholic

I celebrate the observation of Christ's birthday, even though no one really knows exactly the day He was born (that's a mystery).

8. NO.

It's a holiday that is too commercialized. I don't believe in Jesus, or God. I respect others' beliefs, but I don't celebrate Christmas. Now, I finally have a granddaughter, and we won't let her do without, but we won't teach her what we view as crap religious myths.
