Its based on an astronomical event, so no religious belief is necessary to observe the beginning of the end of winter. Also, most religious holidays at that time of year probably derived from solstice celebrations.
Personally, I like Beltane. :wink:
Both Christmas and Thanksgiving don't have a religious meaning for me, they are times of family gathering, that is what makes them a holiday for me.
Those who choose to celebrate Christmas as a religious holiday, it's fine with me.
