This seems to basically be something a lot of people were already doing, now formalized on the Internet. I like it.

The 12 Days of Secular Celebrations
Instead of 12 Days of Christmas, we have 12 days of secular celebrations (With a little overlapping):
* Day 1 - December 21 - Solstice Eve
* Day 2 - December 22 - Solstice
* Day 2 - December 22 - HumanLight Eve
* Day 3 - December 23 - HumanLight
* Day 4 - December 24 - Krismas Eve
* Day 5 - December 25 - Krismas
* Day 5 - December 25 - Crispness
* Day 6-12 - December 26-January 1 - Kwanzaa
* Day 11 - December 31 - New Years Eve
* Day 12 - January 1 - New Years Day
Note: Since Solstice moves, sometimes Day 1 will be Solstice, and other times it will be Solstice Eve :-) |

| Sorry, we celebrate Festivus on the 25th. |

"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini |

| Christmas is really just a hi-jack of the old pagan solstice celebration anyway. |

I like it, thanks, Marf! Now I don't have to feel ever-so-slightly hypocritical when verbally wishing someone a "Merry Krismas," and I need not upset them in the process. All the good stuff in Christmas is in Krismas, devoid of that horrible, boring little demigod myth.

| They need something to replace the Three Kings Day ritual performed by our Christian Catholic/Orthodox cousins. That would complete the list, methinks. |
