Ya, you guys are right to a certain extent. I guess I have been thinking lately about Christmas and its original meaning. Christ+mass was a time of worship to commemorate the birth of Christ. But as of late, American culture has tried to overshadow that with commercialism, changing "Merry Christmas" to "Happy Holidays". I've been thinking that if people don't celebrate the Christ in Christmas...then maybe they shouldn't say they celebrate Christmas. Maybe they should say they celebrate famiily and friends or something. What do you think?

agreed! I'm afraid one is replacing the other but I think there is a healthy way to celebrate both together.
