[quote=Anonymous]Maybe it’s easier to think of things as ‘cultural christmas’ and ‘religious Christmas’. The aspects of christmas or yule that do not relate to the birth of Jesus should be considered cultural and not religious. Some predate Christianity. For example, bringing the greens, putting out stockings or shoes, lighting candles on a tree, elves, Santa, nutcrackers, pudding, roasted goose can all be considered cultural aspects. While, the baby in the manger, the crèche, the service on Christmas Eve reenacting Mary and a Joseph’s journey to Bethlehem, angels can be considered the religious part of the holiday. [/quote]
