Merry Christmas? - or not?

[artyboy]

I have stopped celebrating Christmas three years ago and I have now started to celebrate the winter solstice as I think it has more relevance to me. I like the idea the nights are going to be shorter and summer is on its way. I find Christmas is just depressing and has no relevance to me at all. I don't class myself as a Christian so I don't see why I have to celebrate something I don't really believe in. I give presents to family and friends still low as I like giving people I care about things.
