But how many people actually DO this? Even the most religious families I know buy into the material side of Christmas as well. And let's not get started on the pagan part of it. In order to celebrate a Christmas tradition that had nothing to do with paganism, you would have to get rid of the Christmas tree, the gift-giving, and the mistletoe to start with -- oh, and you would be celebrating Jesus's birth sometime in the spring.
