you know when people tell me that I shouldn't even get any presents at Christmas because I don't believe in it, I remind them that the tradition of exchanging gifts comes from the ancient Roman festival that celebrated the winter solstice.
We get the best of all worlds, and celebrate Christmas, saturnalia, chunnuka, solstice, and any other winter festival of light I can be bothered to research each year:) They all involve lighting lights, giving presents and eating excessively, so it doesn't really matter which one you decide to do:0
