Absolutely. I think it's good that Christmas is evolving more into a holiday celebrated by the majority of people anyway. People need holidays and time to spend having fun and spending time with friends and family and tbh the end of the year is a perfect time for that, to wind down etc. It isn't only religious people who need a break
