Might I suggest A new direction for your Christmas.....perhaps the actual reason this Holiday season was created. I am in agreement with the commercialization of this Holiday, and have not celebrated Christmas for many years. As it is likely the Christ was not born until Sometime in the spring....it seems a bit of a false holiday to many.
Solstice and Yule have "filled the void" in my the lives of my family, and many of my friends, as these celebrations have much meaning to us, and carry a message we truly enjoy.

Just My Take.......Have a great Holiday, regardless of WHY you celebrate it.
