I can do all those things without lights and Christmas music.
Great, that is you and your choice. For those who like and enjoy the lights and glimmer and the Christmas music, Santa they are also entitled to their choice. Like it or not.
Always going to be commercialized with any holiday celebrated, buy gifts, going to be commercials, same with Easter.
This is what most have known thru their childhood, if they celbrated Christmas, many Holiday Traditions, should be celebrated by those who choose to celebrate their way.
Who is anyone to take what most have known their whole life away Merry Christmas, hope you have a good one, any other holiday celebrated by others same to you.
Take Christmas away, no matter what you think about it, then what's next on their list.

No one is trying to take your christmas away, just it gets tiring to be surrounded by christmas in September. Christmas should stop cannibalizing other holidays.
Ah the annual War on Christmas thread again. It must be about time to go get a tree and put up the lights this weekend.
Pretty much, it wouldn't be Christmas without an annual War on Christmas thread and I thought I would help out by creating a catch all for the topic so we don't have a ton of WoC threads cluttering the forum.
We are going for a tree this weekend. If Christmas was never celebrated (acknowledged, but not celebrated) would that in any way diminish the Christians' devotion to it? I wonder why they have such a proprietary and possessive demeanor towards this holiday.
I don't get how the public government and politics work in the U.S...
Christmas Day is a national holiday, yet when public schools are closed between Christmas & New Year's for the purpose of Christmas they call it "Winter break", "Holiday break", or similar avoiding the word 'Christmas'. Why can't public schools refer the break to 'Christmas break'?
Similar to Easter when most public schools give break during Easter, and call it 'Spring Break' instead of 'Easter break'!
In the United Kingdom and other English-speaking countries (where there are less Christians, and more religious diversity); they always refer it to by Christmas or Easter.
Even during this time of the year... "Holiday" this, "Holiday" that. We all know it refers to Christmas, so just put Christmas! Why would any mentally healthy person be offended of Christmas, the most joy and fun holiday of the year?! Nobody forces anyone to celebrate it, but 96% of Americans do and let's not abolish the word just because few minorities do not celebrate it or "may" feel offended.
Yes, we do understand that Christmas is everywhere from commercials, to media, to retail stores, on the calendar, to everywhere in public; but just the word 'Christmas' is rarely seen. So when people see a Christmas tree or any decoration, don't politicians assume people think of Christmas?!
Too much political correctness, especially when it comes to Christians :/ This is so sad.
Most Americans are Christians and over 90% of people in congress, yet live in fear and have their holidays, tradition and culture under war.
Why don't they rename or call the 'Menorah' during Hanukkah to holiday candle?
