WHY HAVE THESE PEOPLE TAKEN THE "HOLY" OUT OF CHRISTMAS, DAMMIT!!!

Okay, caps off--but what's to stop people from attacking the impurity of the "Christmas" Season and demanding that the word "Christ" be taken off of all paraphernalia that includes any kind of pagan worship or secular material?

"Christmas" lights (probably owe popularity to pagan solstice rituals), "Christmas" trees (covered ad infinitem here and elsewhere), "Christmas" cards (invented, I believe, in Victorian era to sell cards?), "Christmas" presents (secular, materialistic tradition)--Why aren't these real Christians protesting the defilement of their "holy"/holiday with all this non-Christian stuff?

I say, bring the holy back to Christmas. Real Christian recognize the importance of Christmas by calling it a "holiday"--so all those people who don't say "holiday" oughta be pilloried.

Well, makes about as much sense as their "War"--maybe more.
