As usual I was right....

An article about a Jewish girl complaining that Christmas is being everywhere in their face once they walk outside the door. I guess she doesn’t realize that Christmas is a national holiday celebrated by over 90% of Americans. Of course she wanted to challenge the holiday too by complaining to local newspapers and officials saying that Christmas is unconstitutional (obviously it isn’t). No shock.

Diversity is so great that minorities think they are perfectly fine by insulting and attacking the majority

Reading the article makes my blood boil!

Nothing is being enforced and saltine is right. It's true concerning a large segment of "news".

...it's one Jewish lady. Not Jews. And...so what? It's one person's opinion. Just say I don't agree and go celebrate Christmas up the wazoo yourself.

This is NBC hating on Christmas. Only the crooked USA MSM would turn a holiday into a hateful event.

And the author of that opinion piece is attempting to make Jews the victims of the holiday. It's as reprehensible as it gets. NBC ought to be ashamed, but they are nothing now but the broadcast version of CNN.

Right about what?

Why would the author’s opinion make your blood boil?

The first Christian settlers’ banned merrymaking and public acknowledgement of Christmas. Waves of subsequent immigrants from all over Europe brought their own cultural traditions and refused to assimilate. Imagine that.

Took 230 years before Christmas became a Federal holiday for Federal employees and did so as a nod to the growing commercial opportunities of Christmas, not religion.

The Thanksgiving holiday was changed to create a longer gap between holidays to create more opportunity to buy gifts.

There are more than 40,000 brands of Christianity in the US.

Millions of Christians in the US do not celebrate Christmas, no different than the original settlers. They view it as pagan rituals which, when you get down to it, are the source for most Christmas traditions.

Millions more Christians do not celebrate on 12/25 because their brand of Christianity continues to rely on the Julian calendar.

Less than half of the people who identify as Christian go to church 12/24-25. Even fewer have anything resembling a nativity scene inside or outside their residence.

Not sure what a 12 foot inflatable Santa on the front lawn has to do with anything.

After the umbrella of Christianity diversity in the US, the next largest segment do not identify with any religion, followed by Judaism and then Islam.

Ridiculous. Most of our friends are Jewish and they are nothing like this girl. They don't care. They love the decorations and all the sales. Our Jewish neighbors have the star of David and other lights on their house.

Capitalism is everywhere, like Christianity, but I can see them both dying.
