The United States is a multicultural nation made up of people who have many different religious beliefs. All of them are wrong, of course, but the wrongness of Christians gets the most press most of the time, and especially this time of the year. Personally I do not celebrate christmas, as a holiday that celebrates the birth of a fictional "savior" who is the fictional son of a fictional "god" seems silly to me. Even though that is the case, I still do try to get along to go along, and I don't preach my beliefs (i.e. reality) to the more deluded individuals I encounter in everyday life.
In any case, celebrations for any reason can be fun. I have my holiday tree up and am buying solstice gifts for my loved ones. Tis the season for fantasies about gods and their sons and life that continues after death, after all. Perhaps some day humanity will accept that this life is all there is, but not while I still walk the earth; of that I am sure.
So, happy holidays to you all... and if you don't like that I didn't say "Merry christmas", you can stuff it.
