I'll third.....it didn't work. For most people who celebrate Christmas it's all about the material things. I mean there are many moslems and jews who celebrate Christmas because they don't want their kids to feel left out, christians aren't the only people who celebrate the holiday....many atheists do as well. It's a day off from work, an excuse to be materialistic, an excuse to eat and drink too much, and a day to spend with family for a lot of people.
ASsman, thanks for sharing the info. about the yule log.....I hadn't read/heard about that before.
