The holiday of light...
As I am not a religious person, it is contradictory to celebrate Christmas. But actually it is not!
Christmas goes way back to before the Talmud and the Bible. Ancient civilisations already celebrated this but in a whole other manner. The feast was all about “The returning of the light”. The 21st of December is the shortest day in the northern hemisphere, so from that day on, days are getting longer again. And that is what we are actually celebrating!
So, don’t despair, there’s light ahead!
Sincerely,

Yes! The winter solstice is said to have possibly been celebrated as far back as the Neolithic (stone age) period.
