Besides, Christianity aside, you could look at them as celebrations of the weather!! Or the rotation of the bloody earth!! I mean you don't mind using the names of the months, do you, whether you believe in Janus or Februs or Juno, nor the names of the weekdays whether you acknowledge Thor and Wodin or not? So wass big hairy deal? If your clarity about Xmas is as clear as you make it sound you shouldn't feel too compromised because someone wants to show you they loveyou for crying out loud!!

Bite my tongue. Hug her most warmly for her kindness.
