I kinda think he is missing the point hereā¦
One of the things that keeps me from getting too homesick around Christmas as an American expat is this War on Christmas meme that gets beat to death every year.
I have no problem with any holiday whose core message is peace on Earth and Goodwill to All.
And as a card-carrying agnostic and part-time heathen, I am willing to ignore all the other conundrums of virgin birth and the whole world migrating to their place of birth in the dead of winter in order to enjoy a warm and cheerful midwinter festival that is part of millenium-old tradition that predates Christianity.
