That's cool. The 25th is most definitely not Jesus' actual birthday anyway. Of course I have the idea to move Christmas, the celebration of Jesus' birth and what it meant, to one of the Jewish feast days. Like we celebrate the Resurrection on Passover, we should move Christmas to perhaps the same day as the Feast of Tabernacles. I believe then it would mean more for christians, and leave the 25th as a time for giving out presents and such. (Perhaps fuse the 25th and the New Year's celebration into a week long celebration of a good year)
Because most of America is Christian in name only, to be honest. 80% of Americans claim to be Christian, but there is no way 80% of Americans actually attend church every Sunday.
America is a secular nation. The majority of the residents self-identify as Christians. Christians have a long history of using this fact to claim that America is Christian. Christians also have a long track record of calling other Christians non-Christians when it is politically expedient. I guess consistency isn't one of religions strong points.

So ... a Christian is one who attends church every Sunday?
We've always been huge on Christmas in my family, but even on both sides it's never had any sort of religious theme to it. We would all get together and my grandpa would say a quick "grace" before dinner, but when he died that little tradition went as well.
