yes, it is a holiday. most "christmas" decorations, even gift giving, are actually solstice traditions...as is the date. it is the celebration of the returning of the sun (the birth of the son, in christmas). most of the major holidays around this time of year are actually based, in some way, on the this "returning of the sun or son" concept...and, yes, based on alignment of the sun and our planet.

Pagans, Wiccans, druids? I'm game for a Saturnalia.

Just Christmas, even though it's my least favorite holiday.

Celebrate Christmas and note the passing of the Solstice. Always glad to get past the shortest day of the year.

Celebrate them all? Think of the calories.
