This one does. Christmas is just a celebration of the solstice that Christians turned into one of their own anyway.

Christmas has become so commercial, it's easy to celebrate without being Christian. Just put a giant inflatable Santa in your front yard instead of a manger scene.

I think as far as any Churches inquiries about your beliefs. Just tell them you worship at a non-denominational Church in Peoria. As far as co-workers go, just tell them,"I had the most wonderful spiritual experience,and if you have about a half an hour or so, I would LOVE to tell you about it!" That usually runs them off right fast. Its nobodys business what your beliefs are. There are plenty of so called "Christians" who only go to Church a few times a year and they are usually the ones who would growl about your beliefs the most. They need to pick on you so they dont feel so bad about their own lack of belief.

We do. Its as much an American cultural tradition brimming with commercialism as a Christian holiday.
