And great fools none at all!
Holiday and Holy Day, Christmas is more than a yule log, holly or tree. It is more than natural good cheer and the giving of gifts.

Christmas is Christ, the Christ of justice and charity, of freedom and peace.

They that do change old love for new,
Pray gods, they change for worse!
