The connection is intentionally bad.
Burmese Buddhists do believe Maya was sterile. (Tried unsuccessfully to get pregnant for many years). The virgin aspect is likely due to a specific interpretation of the prophetic dream Queen Maya is said to have had prior to conception and is not a widely held view amongst Buddhists. My experience living in a Buddhist country showed me that he is indeed treated and at times considered as a god. In some cultures, Buddha meets the gods on the 25th of December. Not sure why… Buddhism takes many shapes all of them are incompatible with the teachings of Siddharta.
But none of this is the point. The point is that the Sun and his cycle are at the core of so many religious beliefs. The light that gives. Stories have traveled, shifted, morphed… Easter existed before Jesus and so did « Christmas ».
They are all attempts at owning and controlling « the light ». Which in my book is proof of « disconnection » from the light itself.
Sorry, I reject all kind of centralized « spirituality »

Merry Dia Natalis Solis Invicti! The sun rises again from the depth of the longest nights. May its light shine on you and your family! 🌅

St Agostino would disagree. But to be fair, it’s lazy phrasing by the original writer. Nor was Buddha… Merry Christmas to you

Keep in mind you guys have traction. Speciality clients need to build it. Building it with little to no users is harder (mentally and practically). The fact that the feature exist in the everything client is part of the problem to some extent.
