Although this is an old thread, it is new to me. Being new here, I have a lot of catching up to do. Christmas seems to lift up the non-believing people in a peculiar way. The coming Santa Claus marching in the minds of the young is spectacular. Watching the general public in shopping malls is interesting. Jingle Jangle, boxes, and toys. I guess for the consumer saturated population it is what it is for them in the world.
Christmas for me is a time to reflect on the Christmas message, the coming of the Saviour. A time to fellowship with family, friends, and neighbors. I am interested to learn if LDS heritage recognizes "Old Christmas" on January 6th ? Old Calendar.
