REGARDING Patricia Ash's comments in her recent letter (You Say, Wednesday, December 29, I agree that Christmas has become more commercial.
But when she suggests that Christmas should have more emphasis on Nativities, I do not think it really matters.
For example, Father Christmas is equally a pagan contribution and December 25 has no correlation with the birth of Jesus Christ.
In fact celebrations of Christmas happened hundreds of years before Jesus was born and December 25 was originally set aside for worshipping the sun god Isis, in the Babylonian times.
