I once asked a fellow Zen student -- one more 'advanced' than I -- how she coped with the various holidays that had nothing to do with Buddhism but had an impact on the surrounding culture. Her answer was short and sweet: "I celebrate them all."
In that spirit, then .... MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!
Iz plan, to borrow a phrase from @lobster
Pretty much every day of the year is a feast day, holiday, etc. somewhere in the world. Party like it's 1999!
Whoop-whoop!
Yes, indeed, seasons greetings to all, a most welcome Sangha!
Hurrah! ( and bah humbug )
Merry Christmas to all
Happy Christmas
Bring back the ass
In the Middle Ages, the Festival of the Ass was held on Christmas Eve, recalling Joseph and Mary’s flight into Egypt. A young girl with babe in her arms entered the church riding an ass or donkey. During mass, all the prayers ended with “hee-haw.” The Catholic Church banned the celebrations because of its sacrilegious character.
hee-haw ... and happy Birthday to Baby Jesus, Krishna etc ...

All celebrations are joyful events. Enjoy your Christmas.
Christmas morning at my favorite Charlotte, NC, Episcopal church was simply beautiful. Long live the Narrative! Long live sacred story!

That was my introduction to the South! Donuts for breakfast in the hotel foyer every morning
We may not be quite as friendly as the Australians, but as a whole we're a lot more plump, like Santa Claus...
