I do wonder what her problem is though. I have heard tales of idiots hating people so much that they would managed to get them fired or quit. But that is not enough they woud TACK THEM DOWN to their new job and get them fired from THAT. I thought that was what this was, but she seemingly did not know he was there. Anxious to see how this plays out.

For them, the commercialization kills the religious connection (samhian/celtic new year) while painting an inaccurate, negatve, and all around wrong view of witches and witchcraft. (just putting as they see it) So yeah... here you are seeing the (wiccan?) counterpart to Pecknsniff and her lot.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as I recall, the old church used to celebrate Christmas as the day of conception, while Michaelmas (29 Sept) was celebrated as the day of his actual birth; 25th December and 29th September are suspiciously about nine months apart...
Don't recall where I heard that, so it might be wrong. If anybody wants to debunk it... *shrugs*
