I understand that not everyone is a Christian, but the fact remains that Christmas is a Christian (or to say, religious) holiday. Christ was born and his birth celebrated long before the legend of Santa Claus, and presents under the tree. We give each other gifts just like the wise men gave gifts to the Christ-child. I don't care if people don't want to celebrate Christmas for that reason. What I DO care about is that just because they don't, they don't anyone else to either.

What does that have to do with anything?
