‘Christians should consider renaming Christmas “Winter Festival” so that the celebrations held by different faiths during the winter months can be included. ’

The Winter Festival appears to last for weeks, while the celebration of Christ’s birth affects us throughout the year – but especially on Christmas morning as we worship together.
