Christmas Is All About The Loot, Everyone Knows That

[redbrunja]

So, the whole cultural switch from saying 'Merry Christmas' to saying 'Happy Holidays' has come up on my flist a couple of times lately.

It's reminded me that I find Christmas to be more of a secular, national holiday than a religious one.

My question for you, dear flist, is 'does the growing secularism of Christmas make it more inclusive'?

Because my instinctive reaction is 'yes' but it is still called 'Christmas' and it's not like days that are important for other religions are turned into national holidays.
