I sometimes wonder if Christmas would be the same if it was all "Hogfather"-y, and people identified it with things like sacrifice or darkness and maniacal celebration instead of peace and babies.
The sentiment does tend to make me grumpy around this time of year just because it seems like it's pushed everywhere. Hearing "Christmas Shoes" over and over again pretty much numbs my heart. The religious aspect of Easter is the holiday I don't believe in that still makes me shiver.
