1. A welcome break from work
2. An early winter festival of food and drink - a solace and to keep us going through the rest of the winter
3. A time to acknowledge the importance of family and friends through gifts and cards
4. A time to celebrate the simplicity of childhood - Santa Claus, Christmas trees and school performances
5. A time to acknowledge the poor, oppressed and disadvantaged (in part an antidote to the insularity, self-satisfaction and mutual wealth that is the downside of 3 and in part an acknowledgement of the Christian Christmas story)
6. An opportunity to share in the Christian musical tradition (the Messiah and carols)
