You mean the Portuguese and the English, who brought their traditions with them

Summer is a much better time to celebrate anyway. I don't get why Europeans decided to do it in winter.

Anyway, it doesn't stop being an important day... after an arbitrary week-and-half delay.

What else is there to live for in winter if not the celebrations.

It is aligned for the southern hemisphere as well, just with winter and summer reversed.

This is why we need to go back to the roots of what Christmas was co-opted from.

Gimme my winter solstice festival!
