family: I like to go for wintry walks, on crisp days in pale winter sunshine, finding a Neolithic monument or an iron age hillfort to explore with my children, according to The Guardian. It also feels right to hunker down, to be with friends and family, to celebrate friendship with the exchange of gifts, and to give to good causes. At this very special time of year, when the sun appears only fleetingly to those of us living in the northern hemisphere, I feel a deep connection with ancient ancestors. I love creating cosiness at home a bit of Danish hygge with candles and firelight, holly and pine cones. But while Christians may choose to commemorate the birth of Jesus on 25 December, I don't see any reason why others shouldn't enjoy a midwinter ritual whose roots go back much further than the origins of Christianity. It's all good for the soul . Occasionally, friends who know I'm a humanist that I don't believe in any sort of gods, or indeed an immortal soul have questioned why I would celebrate Christmas.
