Well, at home we celebrate Hanukkah, but one side of the family does celebrate Christmas, so we end up visiting them and celebrating Christmas, too. Hanukkah's still the major winter holiday for me, though. :3

Beside christmas, we celebrate a swedish tradition called "Lucia" here in sweden this sunday. It has to do with the winter solstice, with the saint Lucia that comes with the light in the darkest of times. From this sunday and on, our days will be lighter and lighter again. Now we only have like 3-5 hours of sun each day (depending on where in Sweden you live), so it's a very nice and mostly a beautiful tradition that we swedes likes a lot. =)

Bodhi Day, Christmas + Hanukkah. My 'sister' and I are Buddhist, my parents and brother are Catholic, and most of my friends celebrate Hanukkah. It's cool with all three.

I don't celebrate Christmas in the Christian sense, as I see that time of year as the time to see friends and family I haven’t seen an ages and to swap presents to bring fun into our lives at the most darkest time of the year.

I properly celebrate the solstice as the turning of the cycle of the year.
