Don’t want to endorse Christianity necessarily but hard to get around saying the word Christmas or Xmas, so is Xmas more rebellious? Is there an even more rebellious or irreverent name for it?
Also, should I not even celebrate Christmas? What’s an alternative that features the presents-giving at the same time of year but in a way that isn’t tied in any way to religion (and ideally doesn’t involve killing turkeys)?
Yule.
Yeah this. Most Nordic countries at least call it some variation of Yule still, Joulu in Finnish for example
Yule is kinda religious though.
At least it’s pagan though. A bit of an F you to the mainstream religions.
