Only Christians can celebrate Christmas?


You don't need to believe in MITHRA -
 to enjoy the tradition of celebrating the sun's rebirth on December 25th.

You don't need to believe in the god SATURN -
 to enjoy the tradition of decoration a Saturnalia tree in your home.


You don't need to believe in YULE [Scandinavian fertility god] -
 to enjoy the tradition of Yuletide carols and greetings.

You don't need to be a WICCAN -

 to enjoy the tradition of wreaths or decking the halls with holly.

You don't need to be a DRUID -

 to enjoy the tradition of hoping for a kiss under the mistletoe.
You don't need to believe in THOR, ODIN, or St. NICHOLAS -
 to enjoy the tradition of a visitor bringing gifts at night.

You don't need to believe in SLEIPNIR [Odin's flying 8-legged horse] -

 to enjoy the tradition of listening for the sound of hooves on your rooftop.
And you don't need to believe in JESUS CHRIST
 to enjoy the tradition of renaming this ancient holiday to Christ's Mass.
