'Tis the Season to Disbelieve, Doubt, and Distance Oneself from Christianmas

Seekers / Humanists / Atheists / Naturalists /
Agnostics / Nonreligionists / Nontheists /
Antireligionists / Realists / Educationalists /
Experimentalists / Freethinkers / Enlightened /
Rationalists / Secularists, especially at a
time of year which religionists oft-times
insist is derived from the birth of a chris-
tian savior rather than from seasonal cele-
brations existing long before the christ
mythos was concocted.

Of note, when I clicked on the video at
this article, it opened with "The 12 Days
of Christmas", not exactly the most secular
song at this time of year, but at least it's
not nearly as intense of a christian-pro-
moting 'caroling' type of song that's wide-
spread (in many otherwise secular areas)
during this holiday season:

 # Ah, well - Merry Saturnalia!

...Many cultures celebrate various combinations of the winter and
summer solstices, the equinoxes, and the midpoints between them,
leading to various holidays arising around these events. For the
winter solstice, Christmas is the most popular holiday to have arisen.
In addition, Yalda, Saturnalia, Karachun, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and Yule
(see winter solstice for more) are also celebrated around this time.
For the summer solstice, Christian Catholic cultures and Nordic
Christian Protestant cultures celebrate the feast of St. John from
June 23 to June 24 (see St. John's Eve, Ivan Kupala Day, Midsummer),
while the Wiccan culture observes Litha. For the vernal (spring)
equinox, several spring-time festivals are celebrated, such as the
observance in Judaism of Passover. The autumnal equinox has also given
rise to various holidays, such as the Jewish holiday of Sukkot. At the
midpoints between these four solar events, cross-quarter days are
celebrated.
