Not even a little.
I have a better, more mellow, loving time with the agnostic side of my family then the fighting, gossipy, condescending Christian side of my family.
I think those values can come from anywhere. It's not religion, it's humanity.

Well, since gift giving was a pagan tradition that was "adopted" by the early Christians...
And since I've been roped into bell ringing for the Salvation Army and singing Christmas caroles, I would definitely think that "helping others" isn't just a Christian value. Especially when Wiccans are willing to sing about the birth of Christ because their Christian friends ask them to.
Blessed be!

LOL, don't worry about misspelled words :P
No, those aren't strictly Christian values, but they are Christian values, non believers can have these values too :)

I will be spending time with family and getting in on the great shopping deals this time of year so I can resell them for more on Ebay.

Nope, They are Wiccan values as well. And I don't think everyone limits it to just one season, regardless of faith. At least I like to think that some of us do it year round.
Blessed Be )O(

No, celebrating Christmas is. The things on your list also apply to Yule, Hannakah, Kwanza and Ramadan.

I'm not Christian or religious at all but those are all important aspects of my life regardless of season.

Nope, anyone can and SHOULD do it. Personally, I know more non Christians, or less religious Christians that do more for others than many of the far right Christians I know.

No but if you read your Bible selling your daughter in sexual slavery is a Christian value.

No, not really, but God Himself was the originator when He gave His only begotten son out of love for the human race.
