[quote=Anonymous]Why don't you celebrate Yule or nothing. Just enjoy the few days off. Presents were given out during Yule also. You can cut out the presents if you want to. 
Most holidays completely escape me: I have no idea when they are, whether they are religious or not, and what they are about. I even mix up labor day and memorial day. It helps if you work on holidays and don't really like them because your work is busier.
Also, you know a whole lot about religions being non-religious. Easier to ignore it all if you know nothing about them and what other people do or don't.
End of December to several days after NY is simply a time to take it easy and make plans for new year. Nothing religious about it. Good time to visit friends and family because many are taking it easy. 
While the gifts and decoration might be all wasteful now, that was not the original intent. Tree was brought in for some color and good fragrance and later fed to animals. If you ever lived in the north, you'd know that after 3 months of snow, you want anything green. We used to dig under snow and pull up blueberry and cranberry plants to decorate our home. That's what it took to find color in the winter. Now we just go to dollar store.[/quote]
