Wiccan VS Christian

I personally am Wiccan although the god I choose to follow is Jesus Christ. This tends to be a little contradictory during the holidays. I realize that Christmas is the birth of Jesus Christ but I still prefer to celebrate Yule while I provide a wonderful Christmas for the rest of my family becuause my husband follows Biblism. I believe in the Bible and all it's holdings, but I also believe in nature and all it's changes and seasons. It is really a difficult following. I am truly a Green Witch which combines both Christianity and Wicca. This is difficult for my husband to come to terms with. He doesn't understand my need to follow the seasons vs the normal holidays at Christmas time. I believe that we should each follow our own religion in our own ways. That is how I have come to terms with handling the holidays. It isn't the most fun way of doing things especially when I celebrate my holiday on December 22 or 23 and everyone else in the house celebrates on the 25th. I have to have two holiday celebrations within days of eachother. I have done this since I found my calling two years ago. I will admit I don't do huge celebrations and ceremonies for my beliefs but I still celebrate them.

I have recently met other Wiccans that I feel very comfortable with and understand thier ways very well. They are all understated in what they do to follow thier beliefs and generally just keep it to themselves. I can now understand why. I have recently been exposed to a controversy based on believing or not believing in Santa Claus which was a direct result of someone being Wiccan instead of Christian. Most Wiccans are not viewed so nicely by others at the holiday season. We are not looked at fondly because we don't believe in the same things as others and it is generally something that hurts our feelings. We accept all others for what they are and what they believe but it seems some Christians are not willing to accept others for their beliefs especially during the Christmas season. This is sad to us as we believe that all people are allowed to believe as they choose and to be non-judgemental in our thinking of others. We accept all people as they are and choose no sides in a person's personal beliefs so why can we not be accepted the same way?
