Rules Q&A
Absolute Law
Enchantment
All creatures have protection from red.

Creatures having a color is already something you can break in commander, though. You can use Painter's Servant naming in your Elesh Norn deck (not that you would in this case) to give all of your opponents protection from your creatures with Absolute Law.
Additionally, Transguild Courier and Sphinx of the Guildpact both get boosts that apply to color even with no changes to the current rules. The point isn't that "this card is x color" because we can already break that in commander. The reason they're banned is because of the rule that the mana symbol appears on the card. This is the same reason that Quenchable Fire can't be run in a mono-red deck despite nothing about the card being blue.
On the point of Gyruda, Doom of Depths I will say you're not entirely wrong here, but let's not forget that Wizards has been pushing color pies and power levels a LOT lately. So to that end I would defend the card pointing to limited blue reanimation effects like Back from the Brink or Body Double. Blue has limited ability to copy or create tokens of creatures in graveyards, so the fact that this latest one is extremely limited feels like it's pushing blue, but not entirely out of context. You can only reanimate something milled with its ETB effect and only if it has an even CMC. It's possible to entirely whif on this and not get anything to reanimate, unlike similar black effects that are more or less guaranteed to bring you back something from the graveyard.

Nice flavour and idea - and even a mana curve that spikes pretty early for an angel tribal deck!
As I see Sanctimony, Absolute Law and Voice of Law, I was wondering whether the reason why they are there is mostly flavour or there are pleny of red-based decks in your playgroup.
I agree with WhichKing regarding Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx: that land would fit nicely here. I also see that Emeria, The Sky Ruin is already in the maybeboard. Would you consider from creature side Radiant, Archangel (in multiplayer she get pretty big and is still thematically appropriate) and and enchantment such as Boon Reflection (not sure how much it fits the Christmas theme, but would work with the many lifegain effects of the deck)?

Bant EDH - Rafiq of the Many

I removed Absolute Grace and Absolute Law because we (my table) decided as a playgroup to ban those cards for how badly they limit others' decks from being able to function on the cheap or interact with the table as a whole. They really don't print hosers like they used to, and probably for exactly this reason.

Absolute Law specifically says CREATURES get protection from red. not players. Runed Halo and Burrenton Forge-Tender are very self-explanatory.
