Last time I checked....

....December 25th was Christmas.  It wasn't "Holiday Day" or "Seasonal Day", it was Christmas Day.  Every year this bugs the sh-t out of me and it's doing it again this year.  Why in G-d's name do we have to do away with the term "Christmas"?  Because some people don't celebrate it?
