There is nothing intrinsically christian about Christmas... (Dec 25th was NOT Jesus birthday!!!!) It's just one of the many many ancinet pagan festivals co-opted by them because they knew that the locals would RIOT if the 'priests' of old told them they were no longer allowed to celebrate their festivals!

That said, just about every 'traditional' belief structure that I can think of off the top of my head has some kind of 'mid winter' celebration... and gifts are often part of those parties...

So my advice is to enjoy the hell out of the gifts, because they are obviously given in love!!

And I hope Dickens 3 ghosts pay you a visit some time soon, Scrooge!
