Bullshit.
Take Christ out of Christmas and you get Yule. A far older tradition, with a big feast, gifts & offerings, yule-trees, lots of candles (or bonfires and torches or whatever), probably getting drunk, and a lot of hygge/cozy good times.
All the Christianity stuff in Christmas is just layered on top of the glorious solstice celebrations. The only thing I’d miss if I were to strip any Christian stuff from Christmas, is a couple banger Xmas songs & hymns.
Specifically choose our microwave because it can be muted. No unnecessary beeping or jingle is so much better.
