If as Udo would have preferred, Christianity had not foisted it's beliefs on top of existing cultural traditions then it would not have had the PR needed for it to gain acceptance and therefore flourish so I agree with Udo but for very different reasons. All this "reason for the season" twattery is fucking annoying. If you don't like it. Don't celebrate it. All this intolerance and hatred that Christianity seems to foster in SOME people i find most distasteful and I say unto thee, jog on!

We have the freedom to ignore the commercial side of this season.

And Christianity or whatever we can call the current version was built on the older traditions.
