I agree with Carol. I don't use the word Christmas. If there is one thing for certain the celebration around the turn of the year has nothing to do with the birth date of Jesus. So let's get that out of the way. Shepherds would not be in the fields at the time of the year - it is too cold. I am happy to have a celebration at any time. I and friends celebrate the turn of the year. The family come together on December 25th because it is convenient in terms of holidays and people not working.

Nothing to do with religion.

And I wouldn't go overboard about Mother Theresa. There are plenty of people to attest she was by no means perfect and that there was plenty of money in a variety of bank accounts whilst her orphanages were struggling for cash.

This paints a different picture.
