Holiday lite.

"We're trying to avoid traditions because we don't want it to be dogmatic," Joe Fox told Beliefnet about the second-annual "HumanLight" festival he helped create. HumanLight (not to be confused with Festivus) is celebrated by a handful of Humanist groups on or about December 23. (Hey! That's Festivus!) Questions: Is it a tradition after three years? Doesn't watching Cosmos each year count as a ritual? I wish I could have seen the "comedy skits and other forms of levity"; I wonder if they're anything like a Scientology pageant.
