A Quaker Christmas

A close-up of a metallic red bauble with swirling white patterns, hanging on a Christmas tree. Other decorations and lights are out of focus in the background.
As I described in my previous post regarding Halloween, Quakers have a traditional testimony concerning times and seasons, that different days and different times of the year not have liturgical significance. However, as I also set out in that post, we can see value and benefit of festivals without ascribing them inherent religious significance.
In this post, I shall be applying the same approach to Christmas, and all of the things that go with it, both liturgically and culturally – advent, epiphany, even the secular new year celebration.
