First of all last time I checked this was a Christian Country so Christianity is our main religion and the second most important Christian date is Christmas. It is the most celebrated of all our christian religious dates.
We all know the origins of the date and that Christ was actually born in July and that December is a pagan festival, so what for generations Christmas has been celebrated on 25th and the Nativity is the main focal point of that celebration.
So to see this creeping dumbing down of Christmas in the last 20 years is very sad, with all references to Christ , Mary, Joseph , Nativity slowly replaced with non descript "Happy Holidays" is extremely sad.
I don't know why this is happening probably a combination of the creeping Americanisation of Christmas and the spineless PC brigade worried about offending other faiths.... Wtf !!!
Try going to Saudi Arabia and demanding they tone down their celebration of Eid and you will find your head departing your shoulders quicker than you can say "Allahu Akbar"
I wish our elected representatives would grow a pair and stand firm on all our main religious festivals and allow us to celebrate them with pride.
