the supposed significance of christmas day is questionable at best and pretty much every tradition was shared with or direclty appropriated from other cultures in order to ease those wacky pagan savages into their blood cult. the idea of a decorative holiday tree is directly admonished as pagan blah-dee-blah somewhere in the bible, i wish i could remember where.
"yule" was a germanic pagan holiday, so any christian talking about yuletide anything and sharing in winter feasts is giving a shout out to freyr; clearly a violation of the first commandment.
well the feast thing isn't fair, pretty much every culture thought it was a good idea to devour the fuck out of excess food before the harshness of winter took hold.
