yes, it would be interesting. i mean, it seems that hermione is nearly headed that way, from how i perceive canon. not that she wouldn't be in touch with her parents anymore, but she lives more in the ww than in the muggle world [that said, i also like fics where hermione is the one who introduces computers to the ministry etc].
oh, i guess substance was a bad word choice. i meant that christmas is celebrated without giving thought to the religious sides of the holiday--that's what i meant by lacking substance. you celebrate easter because bunnies are cute and it's fun to go easter egg hunting and you get chocolate and advent is nice because you light candles and so on. like you said, these are traditions, but by now they are largely divorced from their religious origins.
