Obviously this guy is having a really bad hair day. LOL.
But what is really terrible is not the song but the fact that no one told him that his hair looks all frizzy and unmanageable. Perhaps a different brand of conditioner would do the trick.

You do realise that the X in Xmas is the Greek letter 'chi',which begins the word Christ,so there is nothing remotely secular or even non-Christian in its usage,they are thus interchangeable and equally Christian.

It's also key to why the fish symbol is used in Christianity, good call Xang.

For "religions" that derive from nomadic cultures (which Judaism comes from) the notion of "hospitality" especially in regards to the sharing of a meal is, literally everything! Consider the story of Sodom, which is prefaced by the same angels visiting Abraham and having Abraham rush out to the angels to offer them food and drink as was the proper custom in nomadic cultures.
Of course one does not eat a meal in silence (well my father does but he's old and annoying), but in a social setting of conversation and fellowship. Thus the social implications of the common meal become even more pronounced.
While this is not the "theme" for the Christian celebration (but it is a common theme in Christianity itself) it is a catalyst that causes a reason for a common sharing of a meal by those who do not normally do so on a daily basis.
So to quote a common song from the inhabitants of an insignificant dust speck, "Fah who for-aze!"

I'm sort of glad we don't have to do the bathing guests' feet stuff anymore though. That would be awkward. Perhaps the gift giving of socks has replaced it as a tradition.

You wouldn't wash people's feet Symmetry, as a scholar you would have servants and it would be part of their job to wash your feet. Since if a person could afford foot wear it was probably sandals most of the time your feet would be pretty coated in dirt and sand dust.
A lowly worker such as my self likely would be washing my own feet unless I had a wife. It would be super unlikely I would have an important enough guest over that she would lower herself to the point of washing their's.
You might wash the feet of someone who was high royalty of some sort. It would only be because you were groveling.
It would be far far below even a regular working class male person of that time to perform that task. If they had guests who were their approximate equal they would only provide a cloth and vessel of warm water for the guest to wash their own feet.
If you had servants they wouldn't wash everyone's feet as a greeting, it would be something they would do for you or very special guests who would be staying over night but for some reason did not bring their own valet.
You would have it done when you finished work as a luxury, possibly while you ate or likely before bed.
That tradition came out of religion and it's ability to make people do dumb things instead of just treating others with unconditional kindness. People started washing their guest's feet because instead of looking for a deeper meaning or message from the story of Yahushua washing his follower's feet, they just copy it in relative ignorance. Part of the point was it was way below him to do it, possibly to the extent that if it were suggested by one of them the rest of the group would commit violence to the guy who said it.
