What are you holiday traditions?

Not Christian personally, and my girlfriend grew up Messianic Jew, so Christmas isn't really a thing. She's not practicing so Hanukkah isn't really important either. Most important day to us is definitely the Winter Solstice. @ShaunS

That's interesting - why that day?
As a non-religious person, I don't find one day more important than the next from a religious perspective. But I do have days of importance. My wedding day, my and my wife's birthdays.

Pagan holidays are great, because they are aligned with stuff in nature. No cultural or religious dividing lines, just a celebration of the Earth doing what she does.

Winter Solstice is a day of power. It's the transition between autumn and winter. We won't be "celebrating" but it's a significant day for us. That's all.

What I love about paganism, in general, is that it's not any set of hard-and-fast rules. It's very individualized and personal to each person, and if you wanted to classify it, it'd be much better quantified as a spectrum than by any specific set of beliefs.

Which is why I get along very well with pagans.

Same. I don't personally consider myself pagan, but I'm probably much closer to that than anything else at this point.

Maybe we will watch White Christmas today while trapped in the hotel.
