Christmas is a day off work. It got started as an almost universal celebration of the Winter Solstice. As Christianity made its way across the world it adopted (albeit, in a modified way) many pagan belief systems into their doctrine in order to get more followers.
To me it means nothing; a day off work. I am not a Christian and I don't believe in its dogma. I would rather spend the time with my family and friends (why need an excuse for that?!?) or observe the Solstice. I live at 54 degrees north and it gets dark at around 3:30pm lately ! Can't wait for it to get longer days.
