Aluminum pole, feats of strength and the public airing of grievences.
You know, just a basic traditional festivus.

I'm a winter solstice guy because I'm sure that's where most of these holidays are rooted, so I would like to wish everyone a "Happy Solstice".
BTW: Interdenominational Solstice events are welcomed.

"Christmas as a secular holiday"? Oy.
Merry Christmas ("Happy", for the islanders), Happy Channukah, Festive Festivus, and everything that Floats Your Boat (safely)! 😀

Festivus for sure. Mostly the airing of grievances. 😉

If you're Dow Jones & Co., you annoy the hell out of your employees by announcing that for the 99th straight year, there will be no Christmas party and the money instead will be given to some anonymous charity.
We celebrate Christmas and sort of Hannukah when my daughter's friends visit. That's cool. I like my daughter to have an understanding of other religions.
I don't celebrate made-up b.s. holidays. At least Christmas has some basis in reality.

hey, they're only Zorkis
I celebrate several weeks of Christmas as a secular holiday 🙁 followed by two days of Christmas as a religious holiday :angel: followed by two or three months of Festivus "feats of strength and the public airing of grievences" once the credit card bills come in. :bang: Giddy-up!

Sol invictus - for us photographers the rebirth of the sun is a big moment in our year. And we should be properly mindful that the sun means life on earth and food to eat.

Christmas - the birth of our Savior. The real big one is Easter when he died for us so that we may live.

Beware of Claws
Holiday
Time does not extend with time,
It passes as we watch it pass.
And so our best behaviour calls
For looking forward, not behind
To times gone past. On holiday,
We make each moment count
By counting nothing for a time;
Letting moments, hours, days go by
While we enjoy each other's company.
We smile and tell a bedtime story,
Sing a playful song or two,
Do something silly if we wish,
And call it all a holiday.
