I don't celebrate Christmas, since I'm not Christian. I celebrate Yule, however, and eat a ham on January 1st.
Yule begins on Mother Night, which is December 20th, and lasts for twelve days (like the twelve days of Christmas). We celebrate the return of the Sun, which tells us that there will be no Fimbulwinter, since the days begin to get longer again.
So, yeah. They can protest Christmas all they want, since it was stolen from the Old Norse, anyway. (
