I'm more conventionally religious than much of my family. For the last decade or so, I have found great comfort and satisfaction in celebrating the festive/Santa/gift-giving side of Christmas on Christmas Eve and then, beginning with Christmas Eve worship service, I set Christmas itself aside for the spiritual side of the holiday. I don't mean that I spend the day in solemn meditation, but I try to concentrate on the true meaning of the day.
That's a nice tradition. I hope your Christmas is filled with blessed joy.
