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.
