Anyone here think of christmas in a religious way, or is it just seen as a gathering at the end of the year and an excuse to spend money, definately the latter for me

As an atheist; absolutely not.
You wont find as much as one christian symbol in my house

There is a religious connection?
GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

Saturnalia? A Roman feast? Pft. That's but a commercialised and globalised plot to part Gaulish consumers from their cash every winter solstice.Originally Posted by KukriKhan
Being the traditional, spiritual person I am, I celebrate Deuorius Riuri, the Celtic annual great divine winter feast, dating back to the mists of time. I don't care for modern and commercial intrusions of ancient traditions, brought by Roman, and later, Palestinian corporations.

I just feel the need to point out that the norwegian(and swedish and danish) word for christmas is "Jul", which has absolutely nothing to do with christianity, and is the word used back in our pillaging viking days
(you may know it as "yule")

Re: Christmas significances
Family gathering, presents, nice food and the streets look lovely with the season lighting....that´s all there is to it for me....and I love it just like it is.
the only remotely religious thing I do in this season is drive my mother and grandmother to and from Midnight's mass.....I wait in the car and listen to some music.
