Christmas & Harry Potter...

Hi,

I have been a reader of the group for a very long time now and this is 
the first time I am ever writing. I am from Pune, India.

I was reading chapter summary from the HP-Lexicon and one thing I 
found striking was that there is only one holiday (religious) that is 
ever highlighted in the series and that is Christmas. I was wondering 
if there were any such holidays mentioned in the series so far. It 
seems a reasonable to assume that Christmas is celebrated in wizarding 
world with as much enthusiasm as in muggle world. I was also wondering 
if there are other religions in the wizard world besides Christianity. 
I would like to know the views of others in the group.

I tried to do a search on the topic but could not find anything so I 
have opened a new thread. Let me know if this has ever been discussed.
