Just curious, but somebody I know but not well enough to ask doesnt celebrate christmas as we all know but has a celebration on 22nd December. I thought it was Hanukkah but I believe that has already happened (I apologise for my ignorance). My calendar says that 22nd is the first day of winter. Anybody any ideas?

Probably something to do with the Winter Solstice - is she a Pagan of some kind?

it is winter solstice so I suppose it will be the pagans.

We are mid Channukah atm, that reminds, must go light some candles

I'd've thought pagans

Not jehovah witnesses though.

Could be atheists, preferring to celebrate a natural phenomenon. American atheists are particularly keen on solstice celebrations.(I was planning to see in the dawn tomorrow, but it doesn't look as if I'll be able to see very much .)
