I keep thinking why is there such a huge difference in the way we embrace what is essentially the same pagan ritual of mid-winter light worshiping celebration.
There are the historical explanations to why the Jews downplayed their celebrations throughout history since the original diaspora took root in Europe. But can it explain every difference?
The Christian holidays are so lavish, I feel both liberated for not having to go through all that craziness on one hand, and on the other I feel a little mean spirited for not participating.
