    As a non christian, I’m talking about ‘the winter holiday where gifts are given’ which happens to be on slightly different dates depending on local traditions.
    Basing the definition of what counts as ‘christmas’ on the church calendar isn’t very helpful in this global context where most people celebrating aren’t christian believers to begin with. And of course the christians borrowed from older traditions, which where also on different dates originally
