Michael, without getting caught up in a religious argument (I hope). I just wanted to say you have touched on an important concept here that keeps repeating itself.

"Just because you love the color blue, doesn't mean you can't like a whole lot the color red."

You are absolutely right, the love by christians of celebrating Christmas does not steal the celebration of solstice from Wicca's, pagans or any other religious group.

To believe otherwise is not logical. And further, it's living in a deterministic world where you see yourself as a "victim".

Unfortunately, when you're locked in an emotional mental model, where you see nearly all the worlds problems as being caused by christians or organized religion. It's extremely difficult to challenge your assumptions and think about it logically.
