Many people of even non-Christian faiths love the Christmas holidays, including Pagans (who, of course, are celebrating Yule).

How are you planning on celebrating Christmas this year? Or are you not celebrating it at all?

Yule party on the evening of 12/22. Lots and lots of food, and a bit of homemade mead for a blót to friends and family.

12/24 we have the traditional Cappuccino Run, in which we celebrate the fact that we didn't do any shopping at all that day (except, of course, for the purchase of the Sacred Cappuccino itself. ) Sometimes we do this at a café in a panicked mall, but more often we go to a quieter place. Then we go to my parents' house for dinner, and watch a movie. After we get home, everyone retires to their private spaces and finishes wrapping gifts.

12/25 we wake up "whenever," bring the presents out of hiding and distribute them, put on a pot of coffee, and eat mass quantities of chocolate and cookies. Eventually we'll get around to cooking dinner for just the immediate household, usually something like roast duck or nutmeat paté in brioche.
