You are 'Hark! The Herald Angels Sing'. You take
Christmas very seriously. For you, it is a
religious festival, celebrating the birth of
the Saviour, and its current secularisation
really irritates you. You enjoy the period of
Advent leading up to Christmas, and attend any
local carol services you can find, as well as
the more contemplative Advent church services
each Sunday. You may be involved in Christmas
food collections or similar charity work. The
midnight service at your church, with candles
and carols, is one you look forward to all
year, and you also look forward to the family
get together on Christmas Day.


What Christmas Carol are you?

Actually, I agree that the date seems largely arbitary, placed for cultural continuity with previous winter celebrations... (nods).

Indeed - in an agrarian society, when else would you allow your primary producers up to 12 days of leisure but when most food crops are dormant! :-)

I rather like who the church assigns as my own birthday-saint's day: Mary Magdalene (July 22 ;).
